Preakness Stakes winner Journalism returns to the races on Saturday when he leaves the starting gate in the 2025 Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J. In addition to winning the Preakness, Journalism finished second in both the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, both times to Sovereignty. For Saturday Journalism is the 4-5 morning-line favorite in the 2025 Haskell Stakes odds. Goal Oriented (4-1), Gosger (9-2), Burnham Square (5-1) and Bracket Buster (10-1) round out the top five choices in the odds among the eight 2025 Haskell Stakes horses.
Post time for the $1 million Haskell Stakes 2025 is 5:45 p.m. ET on what is expected to be a fast track under partly cloudy skies.
With talented 3-year-old horses entering the starting gate on Saturday, you NEED to see what Santa Anita-based racing reporter and insider Michelle Yu has to say before making any 2025 Haskell Stakes picks.
Few people in racing are as well-connected as Yu. An on-air host and reporter who has provided racing analysis for TVG, HRTV and the Breeders’ Cup, Yu has spent a lifetime in racing. Prior to her television career, she worked for trainers Steve Asmussen and Ron Moquett. She also is married to Santa Anita-based trainer Ryan Hanson.
In a wide-open Kentucky Derby in 2021, she gave out Medina Spirit, who crossed the finish line first, as the winner at 12-1. In Pool 5 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager three years ago, she suggested a play on All Other 3-Year-Olds, which cashed at a whopping 18-1 when Rich Strike won.

Last year, Yu correctly called National Treasure to win the Pegasus World Cup, predicted Stronghold’s upset win in the Santa Anita Derby, and smashed the exacta in the Apple Blossom Handicap. On the Belmont Stakes undercard, she nailed National Treasure’s win in the Met Mile and had the winner and exacta in the Woody Stephens Stakes. She closed out the year by hitting the exacta in the Breeders’ Cup Classic.
However her top pick is a horse who “has really gotten down to serious work.” She is including this horse in her 2025 Haskell Stakes bets, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see her picks before locking in any of your own.
