just forces observers to look for reasons other than cricket logic.

Exaggerator, the winner of the Preakness Stakes and the only 3-year-old male to win three Grade 1 races this year, was officially retired on Monday and will stand at stud beginning next year at WinStar Farm in Versailles, Ky., it was announced by WinStar.The announcement was not a surprise, as Exaggerator had been taken out of training two weeks ago following a disappointing performance in the Pennsylvania Derby and had been taken to WinStar, which had taken over control of Exaggerators career.Exaggerator, a son of Curlin out of the Vindication mare Dawn Raid, also won the Santa Anita Derby and Haskell Invitational at Monmouth this year. He also finished second in the Kentucky Derby to Nyquist but was 11th in the Belmont Stakes. The Haskell was his last victory. He subsequently was 11th in the Travers Stakes and seventh in the Pennsylvania Derby.Last year at age 2, Exaggerator won the Saratoga Special and the Delta Jackpot.Exaggerator retires with six wins in 15 starts and earnings of $3,581,120. His five stakes wins, all graded stakes, came at five different racetracks.Exaggerator was purchased as a yearling by trainer Keith Desormeaux for Matt Bryans Big Chief Racing for $110,000. Bryan subsequently took on several partners, including Rocker O Ranch and Head of Plains Partners. Desormeaux trained Exaggerator, and his brother, Kent, was his regular rider.We could not be more excited to add another classic winner of the caliber of Exaggerator to the WinStar stallion roster, Elliott Walden, WinStars president and chief executive, said in a press release. He is a sound horse that passes all physical exams, but as the only 3-year-old to test all the Triple Crown races and summer classics, hes a horse that is asking us for a rest. The fact he remains sound after 15 big-time starts in the last 16 months is a testament to his ability, consistency, fortitude, and class. He is an extreme racehorse - a tough, durable throwback to the old days, like his sire, Curlin.A stud fee has yet to be announced.WinStar also campaigned Belmont Stakes winner Creator, who was retired last week and sold to the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders Association.Nyquist will stand at Darley America following his final start in the Breeders Cup Classic. As a result, none of the Triple Crown race winners from this year will race at age 4.

With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. Jori Lehtera Jersey . "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. On June 25, the India A squad to tour Australia for a quadrangular one-day series and two four-day matches was announced through a BCCI press release, but late changes have been made to that squad.The selectors had named the same squad for both formats with Naman Ojha as captain. With less than a week before the teams departure, Indian Express reported that Naman Ojha had been replaced by Manish Pandey for the limited-overs leg; Pandey would be the captain for the quadrangular series and Ojha would lead the side in the four-day games.The team departs for Australia on Thursday, but the BCCI has neither confirmed nor denied the story. There is no acknowledgement that last-minute changes have been made, its media manager has not responded to ESPNcricinfos queries, and nobody outside the BCCI is sure which players are travelling to Australia for which format. ESPNcricinfo has independently verified that the change has been made, and that Pandey for Ojha is not the only change in the squads.Akhil Herwadkar, who initially featured in the squad for both legs, will now be a part of only the four-day matches, while Hardik Pandya, who wasnt part of the initial 16-member squad, will now replace the injured Vijay Shankar in both formats. Mandeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal have also been drafted into the limited-overs side.A BCCI source attributed the late changes to a communication gap in the selection process, and said the original idea was to pick two separate squads. We started off with two teams but in the middle there was a communication gap thats why we kept certain boys in the standby list, he said. (The) information has come a little late. Definitely its a little embarrassing for someone like Naman Ojha.It is understood the selectors were initially in favour of players for specific formats, and had a few players likke Mandeep and Hardik on stand-by.dddddddddddd However, unclear communication apparently led to a delay in the board signing off on the changes made to the team. The board source, though, denied there was lack of clarity while naming the initial squad.Everybody was clear (about the players to be selected), he said. (But) subsequently different sides were picked for (multiple) day matches and one-dayers after considering the future options (for the Indian team), like whether Naman Ojha is in the race for one-day spot or the Test spot. Accordingly, the changes were made. Suddenly Vijay Shankar got injured, so there are quite a few things, which happened but otherwise we were very clear. Players like Hardik and Mandeep Singh are future prospects and they need to be given exposure to white-ball cricket.Ojha said on Tuesday he was informed of the decision five-six days ago. There are 15 (13) Test matches this season so it (playing the four-day games) is good for me, he told ESPNcricinfo. I have time to prepare well on my batting and keeping, and I will not burn out. I can now train harder for two more weeks (before leaving for Australia for the four-day leg).By all accounts it is possible there is nothing sinister about the changes. The logic might even be sound: Ojha is 33, he is not the next India limited-overs wicketkeeper, and like Tests and ODIs it makes sense to have two different squads. There might be logic to it but there was no communication or explanation behind the changes, or knowledge of when the BCCI realised these changes were necessary. The fact that nobody from the BCCI has owned up to this on the record just forces observers to look for reasons other than cricket logic.
