Since then, the son of Boundary, Big Brown, has been working at Aqueduct for his return.
Jockey Kent Desormaux will be riding Big Brown for race horse trainer Richard Dutrow, Jr. in Sunday’s Haskell Invitational.
Looking for his 3rd straight Haskell win, race horse trainer Todd Pletcher sends out Atoned this Sunday. The son of Repent, Atoned, was second in both his Monmouth preps for the Haskell, the Spend a Buck Stakes on June 14 and the Long Branch on July 12. Atoned, with morning line odds of 6-1, will race in blinkers for the first time and will be ridden by jockey Edgar Prado.
Race horse trainer Nick Zito sends out a pair of Robert V. LaPenta’s race horses, Cool Coal Man and Coal Play in Monmouth Park’s Haskell Invitational.
Cool Coal Man finished 15th behind Big Brown in the Kentucky Derby. In his last start, Cool Coal Man beat Atoned to win the Spend a Buck Stakes on June 14 at Monmouth Park. Jockey Eddie Castro will be taking the irons this Sunday.
