I guess someone knows that the long range forecast for Breeders Cup day is fast and firm.

PRIVMAN: 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 Exaggerator’s career.

Exaggerator, a son of Curlin out of the Vindication mare Dawn Raid, also won the Santa Anita Derby and Haskell Invitational at Monmouth earlier 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.

A full story will be posted in a bit at drf.com

I'm sure Nyquist won't be back either. What's a fabulous 3YO crop.

Looking through the big mare sales coming after the Breeders Cup doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy, either. Lady Eli, Stellar Wind, Cathryn Sophia, Celestine, Paola Queen, Royal Obsession. Hopefully some of those won't go through the ring.
