Sisters Hope Jones and Isabelle Haskell de Tomaso visited Mrs. de Tomaso’s Irish Strait at Herringswell this morning. Rider Darren Nagle stopped by the rail for a visit before setting off to gallop the 3-year-old English Channel colt.

The ladies will present the trophy to the winner of Sunday’s Grade 1 William Hill Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park.  Triple Crown winner American Pharoah is heavily favored in the eight-horse field.
