Monmouth Park set a track record for handle for a non-Breeders’ Cup day when bettors wagered a total of $20,479,392 on Saturday’s 14-race TVG.com Haskell Stakes day card. The record handle was achieved despite restrictions for on-track attendance due to COVID-19 guidelines.
The overall handle from all sources surpassed the previous non-Breeders’ Cup record of $20,024,509 set on Haskell Day on Aug, 2. 2015.
It is only the second $20 million handle for a non-Breeders’ Cup program in Monmouth Park’s 75-year history.
Authentic’s nose victory over Ny Traffic also extended Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert’s record to nine Haskell victories.
