Once upon a time, not all that many years ago, there was a Thoroughbred racehorse named Wickerr who called California his home.

Much like the fabled Goldilocks, Wickerr was a picky individual with clear-cut preferences. But whereas Goldilocks could verbally communicate her disdain for poorly made porridge or uncomfortable beds, Wickerr – being a horse – could only communicate his preferences with visual demonstrations. We’re left to imagine his reasoning.

This Saturday is the marquee day of racing for the summer meet at Monmouth Park with six stakes races highlighted by the 56th edition of the $1 million TVG.com Haskell Stakes and a national telecast on NBC from 5-6 p.m. ET.
