Belmont Stakes runner-up Hot Rod Charlie arrived at Monmouth Park at approximately 5:20 p.m. following a flight from California, with the TVG.com Haskell Stakes contender immediately settling into trainer Kelly Breen's barn.
The Louisiana Derby winner and third-place Kentucky Derby finisher, who is trained by Doug O'Neill, was accompanied by his famous pony, retired Hall of Famer Lava Man.
Next Saturday's $1 million Haskell Stakes is expected to feature all three runners-up from the Triple Crown – Hot Rod Charlie, Mandaloun and Midnight Charlie – as well as the Todd Pletcher-trained Following Sea. The field for the Grade 1 race is also expected to include the Breen-trained Pickin' Time and Basso.
