2006 Haskell Invitational Day at Monmouth Park

Kelly Breen, trainer of 2nd place finisher and pacesetter Praying for Cash said, "I left it in Joe's hands. I said to make sure he breaks sharp and he can go to the front. I was watching the race closely; when he spurted away at the 3/8th-pole I thought he had a big shot. He ran a big race. I couldn't expect much more than winning. He ran great. We were just second best." Jockey Joe Bravo added, "This horse ran awesome. Down the backside, I had lots of horse and all I could think about was the gold. This is a great horse."
