For comparison, the Kentucky Derby had only one horse of more than $800,000 among its 23 entrants, Tapit Trice.
The Haskell Stakes 2023 has attracted a field of eight, including three who were sold for at least $1.3 million at auction: Arabian Knight ($2.3 million), Extra Anejo ($1.35 million) and Tapit Trice ($1.3 million). Three of the country's most expensive three-year-olds will square off when the starting gate opens in the 2023 Haskell Stakes on Saturday at Monmouth Park.
