NATIONAL ROUNDUP : Sea Hero Expected to Be Retired Soon
After a fifth-place finish in the Fayette Stakes on Saturday, 1993 Kentucky Derby winner Sea Hero probably will be retired to stud, trainer Mack Miller said in Lexington, Ky., on Sunday.
“I was disappointed,” Miller said of the race. “He probably will go on to the farm. That’s not etched in stone, but I think that’s the next logical move.”
Sea Hero will stand at Lane’s End Farm near Versailles, Ky. Sea Hero, by Polish Navy out of Glowing Tribute, won six of 24 lifetime starts and earned $2,929,869.

Favored Dispute won the $329,700 Spinster Stakes by 1 1/2 lengths at Keeneland.
Pace-setter Lets Be Alert was second, seven lengths in front of Southland-based Miss Dominique. Southland-based Phone Chatter, last year’s 2-year-old filly champion and the 2-1 second choice, was never a contender and finished last in the eight-horse field.
Dispute covered 1 1/8 miles in 1:48 4/5 and paid $4.40, $3.60 and $2.60. Lets Be Alert returned $7.60 and $4.60 and Miss Dominique paid $4.
