Jim Dunleavy of the Daily Racing Form won the 2018 Bill Handleman Memorial Award for outstanding coverage of last year's GI Haskell S.

“Jim is the consummate professional and his coverage of the 2017 Haskell Invitational certainly reflected that professionalism,” said John Heims, Monmouth Park's Director of Racing/Racing Secretary. “He was able to capture all of the elements of last year's exciting three-horse finish in one of the most memorable Haskell's ever run.”
