OCEANPORT, N.J. - Cable Boy, a rapidly developing undefeated colt, will face a stiff challenge Sunday when he faces some of the leaders of the 3-year-old division in the Grade 1, $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park.

Scrambling to make up for time lost due to extraordinary circumstances, Cable Boy did not debut until May 13. In a span of three races, all at Monmouth, he has demonstrated talent and speed, breaking the track record for a mile and 70 yards in his second race.

With that scant foundation, Cable Boy faces an intimidating Haskell lineup topped by Preakness winner Curlin. Other expected starters include Kentucky Derby runner-up Hard Spun, Dwyer winner Any Given Saturday, the speedy Xchanger, Imawildandcrazyguy, and Reata’s Shadow. (via Hard Spun News)
