Xchanger is going in the Preakness, last I heard.
The HRE story is a strange one. Turns out that Coolmore's newest stallion, the hot-shot miler from last year George Washington, has not been as fertile as they would have liked. (Coolmore pioneered the 200-foal crop - if he needs 2 or 3 covers to stop his mares, it cuts down on the number of stud fees they can collect.). So since HRE has the same sire (Danehill), they retired him to cover the mares who were booked to GW, and have put GW back into training.
