Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 18, 2020 Journalists Share Posted July 18, 2020 Authentic (c, 3, Into Mischief–Flawless, by Mr. Greeley) just held off Ny Traffic (Cross Traffic) by a head to wire Saturday’s GI TVG.com Haskell S. at Monmouth. The 3-5 favorite led through fractions of :23.60 and :47.52, and looked to be long gone beneath Mike Smith as they turned for home. Ny Traffic just kept on coming in the stretch, however, and ran Authentic to a dramatic photo finish. Dr Post (Quality Road) was third. Authentic becomes the ninth Haskell winner for Hall of Famer Bob Baffert. The final time for 1 1/8 miles was 1:50.45. Authentic, winner of the GIII Sham S. and GII San Felipe S., was second in the GI Runhappy Santa Anita Derby last time. Sales history: $350,000 yrl ’18 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 5-4-1-0. O-Spendthrift Farm LLC, MyRaceHorse Stable, Madaket Stables LLC & Starlight Racing; B-Peter E. Blum Thoroughbreds (Ky); T-Bob Baffert.
