Grade 3 winners Hades, Uncle Heavy and Domestic Product, along with talented Jersey-bred Sea Streak, were among eight 3-year olds entered Wednesday for the Pegasus Stakes during Saturday’s Haskell Stakes preview day at Monmouth Park.

The Pegasus Stakes serves as the final local prep for the $1 million, Grade 1 Haskell Stakes on July 20.

Saturday’s card includes a trio of Grade 3 stakes, the Eatontown Stakes, the Monmouth Stakes and the Salvator Mile. All four stakes races on the 12-race card carry a purse of $150,000 each.

The top two finishers in the 43rd edition of the Pegasus Stakes also earn free entry and start fees to the Haskell Stakes.

Hades, trained by Joe Orseno, won the Holy Bull (G3) at Gulfstream before faltering in the Florida Derby (G1) and Lexington Stakes (G3). Uncle Heavy won the Withers (G3) before finishing fifth in the Wood Memorial (G2) and eighth in the Preakness Stakes.

The Chad Brown-trained Domestic Product captured the Tampa Bay Derby (G3) before finishing 13th in the Kentucky Derby in his most recent start.

Sea Streak, meanwhile, is already assured of a spot in the Haskell Stakes from his 7 1/4-length romp in the Long Branch Stakes at Monmouth Park on May 11.

The Eatontown Stakes attracted a field of 10 fillies and mares, 3 and up, for the 1 1/16-mile turf event that carries the added bonus of free start fees and entry for the winner to the $300,000 Matchmaker Stakes (G3) on the Haskell undercard.
