• Notes

  The Washington Post April 13, 1966 NEW YORK, April 12 (HTNS) - Amory L. Haskell, 72, one of the most prominent sportsmen in the East, died here today of a heart ailment. Mr. Haskell, who lived at Woodland Farm in Red Bank, N.J., had been president and board chairman of Monmouth Park Race Track in Oceanport, N.J., since it was established in 1946. As president of the National Horse Show from 1938 to 1946, and board chairman since, he was a familiar figure at the annual Madison Square Garden event. He raised thoroughbred horses at Woodland Farm and one of the peak social occasions of each autumn was the Monmouth County race meeting held on his acreage over a cross-country course regarded as one of the toughest in the Nation. For many years he was active in breeding, steeplechasing. flat racing, fox hunting and showing, and also raised ribbon-winning hounds. In addition to his farm, Mr. Haskell had a winter home in Palm Beach, Fla. He was born in New York, the only son of J. Amory Haskell, a General Motors vice president. He began riding and jumping at the age of 7, and played varsity at Princeton. In World War I he was a Navy aviator. Outside of sport, Mr. Haskell was until 1926 vice president and general manager of General Motors Export Co. He then became president of Triplex Safety Glass Co. In 1938 he began a tour of service as dollar-a-year director of the New Jersey Council, a state promotional agency. _____ Amory died on April 12, 1966 in Middletown, Monmouth County, New Jersey, at age 72. The Haskell Invitational Handicap, run at Monmouth Park with a purse of $1.25 million (USD), is held every August in his honor. The richest invitational event contested in North America, the race presents a very prestigious horseracing trophy called the Haskell Invitational Trophy along with its hefty purse. It is the one of the most important sporting events in New Jersey. As a tribute to the man honored by the race, Amory's daughters Hope Haskell Jones and Anne Haskell Ellis present the Haskell Invitational Trophy each year. ____ U.S., Navy and Marine Corps Registries, 1814-1992 Name: Amory L Haskell Military Year: 1918 Military Country: USA Rank: Ens Ship or Station: Rf, naval air stu, San Diego, Calif ____ New York, Abstracts of World War I Military Service, 1917-1919 Name: Amory Lawrence Haskell Birth Place: New York City, New York Birth Date: abt 1894 Service Start Date: 7 Jun 1917 Service Start Place: New York City, New York Service Start Age: 23
