Monmouth Park will offer New Jersey’s first-ever combined racing and sports bet during Sunday’s Haskell Invitational card, with bettors required to pick the winners of three designated races as well as a designated baseball game. 

“The Grand Slam” wager for Sunday will be available for advance betting starting Saturday, July 28, in the Monmouth Park Sports Book by William Hill. Other prop bets on the Haskell Invitational will be offered as well. 

“Monmouth Park has been talking about trying to make crossover bets combining sports and horse racing for some time,” said Dennis Drazin, Chairman and CEO of Darby Development, operators of Monmouth Park. “We’re happy to offer our customers the first opportunity to wager on a bet like the Grand Slam as well as the other prop bets that are being made available for the Haskell Invitational. 

“We look forward to being able to offer even more of these wagering opportunities in the future.”     

To hit the Grand Slam, customers must select the winners of the Molly Pitcher Stakes, the Wolf Hill Stakes and the Haskell Invitational – races 10 through 12 on the card – as well as the winner of the baseball game between the Cubs and Cardinals. The baseball money line will be posted in the Sports Book. 

The Grand Slam win payout is set by multiplying the $1 win price of all three horses times the money line of the baseball game. The minimum bet is $2. The maximum payout for the wager will not exceed 720-1. 

Bettors must go 4-for-4 to collect on a winning wager. 

Wagering cards will be available in the Sports Book. 

Also being offered for the Haskell Invitational are head-to-head horse wagers as well as margin of victory. Good Magic vs. Bravazo and Core Beliefs vs. Bravazo are among the variety of head-to-head Haskell wagers available. In addition, a prop bet for margin of victory in the Haskell is available, from a dead heat to a nose to 10 lengths or more.
