Huh, okay now Haskin's saying likely done for the year. Sounds like odds are against seeing him again at 3. Maybe Lukas and Kelley have a difference of opinion and Kelley is inclined to give him the rest of the year off, or maybe it was a miscommunication and Lukas thought there was a chance he could come back. I'm assuming clarification of position is going to ultimately be coming from the owner if he thinks it was not articulated to his satisfaction the first time. I don't get why they'd come back and say likely done unless Kelley felt it was really overstating it to say they might still make the Breeders' Cup. He could've just left it with a 'we might be back.'
