The top two finishers from the Belmont Stakes, Dornoch and Mindframe, will square off for the first time since that thrilling finish when the starting gate opens in the 2024 Haskell Stakes on Saturday at Monmouth Park. Six weeks ago at the Belmont, Dornoch outbattled Mindframe down the stretch to win the final leg of the Triple Crown. Despite that result, Mindframe is the 9-5 favorite in the 2024 Haskell Stakes odds over Dornoch, who is the second choice at 5-2. Fierceness scratched on Saturday morning. Post time for the $1 million race is 5:45 p.m. ET and the latest Monmouth Park forecast is calling for partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the 80s.

With an accomplished field set to enter the starting gate on Saturday, you'll want to see what SportsLine writer Gene Menez has to say before making any Haskell Stakes picks or horse racing predictions. Join SportsLine here to get his full Haskell Stakes picks.

A former reporter and editor at Sports Illustrated, Menez covered an array of sports, including horse racing, for the magazine and its website for almost 14 years. Between 2010 and 2012, he served as SI's handicapper for the Triple Crown races and correctly predicted Super Saver to win the Kentucky Derby in 2010.

In 2015, while writing for Sports on Earth, Menez accurately gave out the Kentucky Derby superfecta (American Pharoah, Firing Line, Dortmund and Frosted), which paid $1,268.20 for $2. Then in 2017, he tweeted out his Kentucky Derby picks, including Always Dreaming to win, and hit the Pick 4, which paid almost $6,900 on a $1 bet. Join SportsLine right here to see his 2024 Haskell Stakes picks.

In a span of seven races last year for SportsLine, he cashed the winner of the Lecomte Stakes, the exacta in the Southwest Stakes, the winner of the Holy Bull Stakes, the winner of the Sam F. Davis Stakes, and the trifecta in the Jenny Wiley Stakes. In May, Menez gave out 18-1 Mystik Dan as a live longshot in the Kentucky Derby. And last month he nailed Trikari to win the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes. Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP!

Now, Menez has looked at the 2024 Haskell Stakes, made his picks and formulated his bets. Join SportsLine here to see them.

We can tell you that Menez is low on the chances of Dornoch (5-2), even though he just won the Belmont Stakes. "His Belmont Stakes victory was significantly better than any of his previous races, which makes me wonder if it was just a fluke," Menez told SportsLine. He is using Dornoch only sparingly in his wagers.

Moreover, Menez's top pick is a horse who "has a lot of upside." He also is also high on an "intriguing" double-digit longshot! He is including these horses in his wagers, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see which horses they are before making any 2024 Haskell Stakes picks of your own!

So who wins the 2024 Haskell Stakes? What double-digit longshot is a must-back? And how has Menez constructed his wagers? ... Join SportsLine now to get the top 2024 Haskell Stakes picks and bets, all from the expert who gave out Mystik Dan as a live longshot in the Kentucky Derby!
