Preakness Stakes winner Lookin At Lucky, trained by Bob Baffert, was established Thursday as the 5-2 morning-line favorite for Sunday's $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park. Lookin at Lucky leads a deep eight-horse field that includes the top two finishers of the Kentucky Derby and the two top finishers of the Preakness. Derby winner Super Saver is the 3-1 co-second choice along with Trappe Shot, undefeated in his last four starts but facing Grade One horses for the first time. At 12-1 is Withers winner Afleet Again, a son of Afleet Alex trained by Butch Reid and owned by the Cash Is King Stable that owned Afleet Alex. Derby runner-up Ice Box and Preakness runner-up First Dude also are strong contenders. The 11/8-mile race will be televised by 6ABC, starting at 5 p.m.
