Haskell choice: Lookin At Lucky over Derby winner
OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) - Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky has drawn the No. 1 post and is the 5-2 favorite in a field of eight entered for Sunday's $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park.
Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver is the co-second choice at 3-1 in the first race for both 3-year-olds since Lookin At Lucky won the Preakness in May with Super Saver finishing eighth. Trappe Shot also is 3-1.
Also entered Thursday in the 1 1/8-mile race were Derby runner-up Ice Box, Preakness runner-up First Dude, Afleet Again, Uptowncharlybrown and Our Dark Knight.
Lookin At Lucky drew the No. 1 post in the Derby, too, and had a troubled trip from the inside before finishing sixth.
Super Saver drew the No. 6 post and will be ridden by Calvin Borel.
