Musket Man Works For The 2009 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park

Illinois Derby winner Musket Man, who finished third in both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and will be brought up to the Haskell Invitational on works aloneOnline Horse Betting, according to race horse trainer Derek Ryan, galloped at a “two-minute lick” over the firm turf course at Monmouth Park Wednesday morning.

With jockey Daniel Centeno aboard, the Yonaguska colt Musket Man went an easy 6 furlongs in an unofficial time of 1:24.

“It was a good two-minute lick,” race horse trainer Derek Ryan said. “and he looked like he handled the turf just fine. We just want to get him back to where we were before we gave him a break.”

Musket Man, who has not run since he was third in the Preakness Stakes May 16, breezed on the Monmouth main track last week. Derek Ryan has decided he will keep the colt on the grass for now.

“He’ll breeze on the turf next Wednesday,” Ryan said, “probably five-eighths.”
