The Haskell Invitational Handicap is an American Grade I race for thoroughbred horses. In 1968, the Board of Directors of Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey honored its former President and Chairman Amory L. Haskell (1893-1966) with the Amory L. Haskell Handicap, a race for older horses. In 1981, the race was made an invitation-only stakes for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles.
A major race for three year olds in between the U.S. Triple Crown series and the Breeders' Cup, it currently offers a purse of $1,000,000 USD.
