The 59th edition of the $1 million NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes will be held Saturday, July 18 at Monmouth Park and the 1 1/8-mile race for 3-year-olds serves as the first marquee race in the division since the end of the Triple Crown series in early June.

The $300,000 San Diego Handicap for 3-year-olds and older was moved to opening weekend for 2026 and serves as the co-feature of Saturday’s card at Del Mar along with the $200,000 San Clemente Handicap, a one-mile turf race for 3-year-old fillies.

Wathnan Racing's Leading Change backed up an impressive 6 1/2-length career debut win last month by jumping immediately into graded stakes company and winning the $300,000 Grade 3 Indiana Derby July 11 at Horseshoe Indianapolis.

The $1 million NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes July 18 serves as the signature race at the 2026 Monmouth Park meet, and this year’s edition is expected to feature a strong cast of runners to compete in the 1 1/8-mile Grade 1 stakes for 3-year-olds.

One of the key figures behind Formula 1 auto racing’s meteoric rise in popularity plans to help launch a team-based horse racing league next season that has drawn many of the sport’s biggest owners, according to a July 9 release.
