2010 Haskell Invitational Day at Monmouth Park

The $100,000 Jersey Derby featured a field of 8 three-year-olds going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. 2-1 favorite Fantastico Roberto was loose on the lead early, as many as 4 lengths in front down the backstretch with Two Notch Road stalking him in second through fractions of 47.50 and 1:11.37. Entering the stretch, the pacesetters tired as 8-1 Hudson Steele, who was 7th early, closed with a rush down the center of the course to win going away by 2 1/4 lengths over late-running Audacity of Hope in 1:41.07. They Call Me Giant was another 1/2 length back in third, while Fantastico Roberto faded to 7th.

Winning trainer Todd Pletcher said, "He sure seems to have found a home on turf. He was more professional today. Last time in Indiana he made the lead and didn't seem to know what to do. Today, he had a good trip and came with one run."
