Seaside Retreat is out.....

Not that it matters.... it belongs to Deputy Glitters.

Seaside Retreat out of Haskell

The probable Haskell field was reduced to seven when trainer Mark Casse opted to keep Seaside Retreat in Canada.

Seaside Retreat, who finished 10th in the Kentucky Derby, most recently ran second in the Virginia Derby on the turf.

Casse said he plans to run Seaside Retreat on the grass in either the Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park against 3-year-olds on Aug. 12 or the Grade 2 Nijinsky Stakes against older horses at Woodbine on Aug. 27. On Tuesday, Casse said he was leaning toward the Nijinsky.

"He's got to face the older horses sooner or later, and we might as well do it here at home," Casse said.

In addition to Flashy Bull and Deputy Glitters, the Haskell lineup includes Bluegrass Cat, Strong Contender, Praying for Cash, Awfully Smart, and Electrify.
