Haskell fair odds: Further Ado is ready to show he's best
Horse Racing Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- Further Ado has lost to two of his six Haskell Stakes rivals but is still favored to win the upcoming Grade 1 race at Monmouth Park, showing confidence in his preparation and potential.
- Trainer Brad Cox has prepared Further Ado well after a strong win in the Matt Winn (G3) following a disappointing Kentucky Derby performance.
- Further Ado has a strong track record in Kentucky with four wins out of five races, including three stakes victories, though he has yet to win elsewhere.
- Other notable contenders include Napoleon Solo and Iron Honor, who finished first and second in the Preakness Stakes, and Ocelli, who placed fourth in the Preakness and finished ahead of Further Ado in the Kentucky Derby.
- While Further Ado is the favorite at 2-1 morning-line odds, a price closer to even money might make Iron Honor a more attractive betting option.
