Stakes Saturday in Hot Oceanport, New Jersey

On this Stakes Saturday we take in one of the finest races of the summer out along the Jersey shore. As a heat wave envelopes much of the country you can hear a shout from the Jersey beach, "Keep their hides moist !" Stay hydrated and best of luck to you.

Monmouth Park Race 12 {Haskell Invitational~G1~1 1/8 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

A solid field of seven will go to the gate in the Jersey heat. There is a plethora of speed in this race which could produce a record time. Speed number are fairly close  with only two posting triple digits. It should be a fabulous race.

#7 Maximum Security (L. Saez / Ja. Servis) should be able to pull the victory off if he gets a good start and a clean ride. He holds the highest speed number at the distance, the second highest last out speed number, and two quality workouts. This lad will battle the other speed demons on the front end. A son of New Years Day , he has rattled off three triple digit Beyer's in a row. Definitely the one to beat.
$1 WIN.

#2 Joevia (J. lezcano / Sacco) continues to improve with every start and can let up on the throttle a little to save some for the stretch. He holds a the fourth highest last out speed number at a much longer route and four sensational workouts. He has two wins over this track. A son of Shanghai Bobby, he is 83% in the money from six starts.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.

#1 King for a Day (J. Velazquez / Pletcher) will challenge with the highest last out speed number and three superb peaking workouts. This guy also has a win over the Monmouth track. A son of Uncle Mo, he too should be part of the speed contingent. He holds an 80% in the money record from five starts.
$1 SHOW.

#5 Mucho Gusto (Talamo / Baffert) is another speed monster that will figure prominently in the race. He holds the third highest last out speed number and three excellent stamina producing workouts. A son of Mucho Macho Man, he has hit the board in all seven of his starts.
