There was nothing unusual about Bill Mott and John Shirreffs crossing paths near the Shirreffs barn at Santa Anita Park this week. The Breeders Cup was in the air, luring marquee trainers like flies to warm honey, and those two are always attracted to the taste of million-dollar races.Their greeting was genial, and from there it would not have been a surprise if theyd tumbled together down memory lane, sharing Classic tales of Cigar and Zenyatta, better known in the superhero universe of Breeders Cup lore as Captain America and Wonder Woman. But instead, Motts opening parry was pure, good-natured smack imported straight from the mean streets of Belmont Park.Whats this I hear about you and a 2-year-old? Mott cracked.Shirreffs broke into a silly grin.Yeah, how about that? he said. Will wonders never cease?From there it devolved into a conversation between the pot and the kettle. Neither Shirreffs nor Mott has been known for his prolific work with 2-year-olds, and the fact that Shirreffs has one of the choices in the $2 million Breeders Cup Juvenile on Saturday and Mott is live on Friday in the $1 million Juvenile Turf is worth a Man Bites Dog headline at the very least.Shirreffs will be sending out FrontRunner Stakes winner Gormley for owners Ann and Jerry Moss, while Mott has Summer Stakes winner Good Samaritan teed up for the partnership of the China Horse Club and WinStar Farm. A win for either trainer would be a first.Gormley is a robust son of Malibu Moon who will be only the fourth 2-year-old among 26 Breeders Cup starters for Shirreffs dating to 1994. The best any of them finished was fourth.Motts first Breeders Cup was 1986. Of his 88 starters, 12 have been 2-year-olds, including second-place finishers Sweet Roberta and Take Me Out, but none of the rest was close.A dozen babies in the Breeders Cup is hardly dabbling, but even Motts number pales when compared to the 2-year-old totals of Bob Baffert (44 of 90 starters), Todd Pletcher (44 of 119), and Pletchers mentor, D. Wayne Lukas (87 of 164).Was that Johns first 2-year-old Grade 1 winner? wondered Jerry Moss shortly after Gormley took the FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita in early October. I think maybe it was.First colt, yes. Shirreffs came up with his breakthrough 2-year-old filly right away, her name emerging from a list of stable stars that included not only Zenyatta but Life Is Sweet, Giacomo, Tiago, Manistique, Harmonious, and Starrer.Hollywood Story, Shirreffs said. She broke her maiden in the 2003 Hollywood Starlet.Mott got the same question and went momentarily blank. A lifetime of training older horses like Cigar, Royal Delta, Escena, Theatrical, Drosselmeyer, and Paradise Creek will do that to you. It was suggested that he must have stumbled into one of those Grade 1 New York 2-year-old races somewhere along the way.Thats it, Mott said, lighting up. The Hopeful, with Majestic Warrior.He also won a Frizette with Confessional.I guess everyones forgotten that when I trained privately for 505 Farm, we had a whole bunch of 2-year-old winners who were sold at the dispersal, Shirreffs said. Swept Overboard, Ive Decided, David Copperfield, Hook and Ladder -- they all went on to win good races for other people.That is a fact, and ditto Mott, who put in the early work on Marty Wygod youngsters like After Market and Life Is Sweet before they were sent to California as older runners to be trained by -- wait for it -- John Shirreffs.And look what he did with them, Mott said, with Shirreffs back to that grin. Turned them into Grade 1 winners. Guess you can say I train 2-year-olds to win at 5.While Mott was bouncing around the Midwest working for Jack Van Berg, Shirreffs cut his teeth in the business working at Loma Rica Ranch in central California, taking young Thoroughbreds through their early lessons. He would say goodbye to each crop at the dawn of their 2-year-old season, and by then he could pretty much tell which ones would be heard from sooner than later.It wasnt easy watching them load onto vans after all the time you spent with them, Shirreffs said. I learned early that you have to let them go, though. On to the next chapter.Gormley, named by Moss for a British artist, gave Shirreffs no reason not to go on. He won his maiden race at Del Mar on Sept. 4 and came back 27 days later to take the 1-1/16-mile FrontRunner from gate to wire, with an assist from a loose horse who compromised another runner with early speed.You always worry when that happens with 2-year-olds because they can be unpredictable, Shirreffs said. If they dont start zig-zagging, youve got a chance. Fortunately, that one went straight and then lost interest around the turn.Shirreffs has had Breeders Cup starters since Zenyatta made her swan song in the 2010 Classic at Churchill Downs, the only loss of her career. None of those had a shot like this time around with Gormley, who has had Shirreffs humming this week in anticipation.The fact that Gormley runs under Zenyattas colors is icing on the cake. Asked to describe his Juvenile starter, the trainer summoned a term straight out of 19th century horsemanship.Stout, Shirreffs said, and just about perfect. Cheap Yeezys China . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. Cheap Yeezys For Sale . Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek defeated Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on the indoor hard-court at Belgrade Arena. The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. http://www.cheapyeezy.us/ .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. Cheap Yeezy Shoes China . After Martin Skrtel put the Reds in front from close range at Stamford Bridge after only four minutes, Hazard hit back in the 17th with a superb strike.

Baylor University on Tuesday launched a website to provide more details about the sexual assault scandal that led to the firings of university president Kenneth Starr and football coach Art Briles and the resignation of athletics director Ian McCaw this summer.?In an open letter to Baylor alumni and students that was obtained by ESPN on Tuesday, interim president David E. Garland wrote that he directed the University to be more transparent wherever possible about the sexual assault crisis that has severely impacted our campus, our alumni and the entire Baylor family.Both the Administration and the Board of Regents are taking this step because we came to understand that, in order to heal, the Baylor family needs more information about what happened and why, Garland wrote.In the letter, Garland confirmed what members of the Baylor board of regents told the Wall Street Journal last week: Since 2011, there were a total of 17 reported allegations of sexual assault or domestic violence allegedly committed by 19 football players. In 2012, there were four allegations of alleged gang rapes involving Baylor football players.Garland said the webpage (www.baylor.edu/thetruth) will provide details about what happened at Baylor and the schools efforts to learn from those mistakes and make the right decisions moving forward.Garland wrote that the website will include disclosures of important facts and a clear accounting of past Title IX incidents, including sexual assaults.In the letter, Garland said the school wouldnt release a copy of the full Pepper Hamilton report, which detailed the universitys failures in responding to allegations of sexual assaults by students, including many football players, because attorneys from the Philadelphia law firm never created a written report (it instead was done via PowerPoint) or delivered one to the Baylor board of regents.Garland said that Pepper Hamilton attorneys examined reports of sexual assault and domestic violence and how they were handled by the university, but were not engaged to determine whether the underlying assaults occurred or to create a comprehensive catalogue of all sexual assaults.Since Briles firing in May, some influential Baylor donors and alumni have wondered whether he might have been made the scapegoat for a larger sexual assault problem at the university. Such talk has taken hold in some Baylor corners because of the secrecy around the Pepper Hamilton report, which has never been made public.Baylors former Title IX coordinator, Patty Crawford, resigned last month and has sharply criticized university officials for whhat she says were efforts to prevent her from trying to handle a sexual assault problem that went beyond the football program.ddddddddddddThree Baylor football players have been indicted for sexual assault and crimes against women in the past four years. Former defensive end Shawn Oakman was indicted by a McLennan County grand jury on charges of second-degree felony sexual assault in July. Defensive ends Tevin Elliott and Sam Ukwuachu were convicted of sexual assault in 2014 and 15, respectively.The Journal on Friday quoted Baylor regents who detailed some of the Pepper Hamilton findings for the first time. According to the regents, in at least one case, Briles knew about an alleged incident and didnt alert police, the schools judicial affairs staff or the Title IX office in charge of coordinating the schools response to sexual violence.J. Cary Gray, a Dallas lawyer and a member of the Baylor board, told The Journal: There was a cultural issue there that was putting winning football games above everything else, including our values. ... We did not have a caring community when it came to these women who reported that they were assaulted. And that is not OK.Garland said in the letter on Tuesday that Baylor regents had no choice but to fire Briles after learning the Pepper Hamilton findings.Faced with the weight of the information from Pepper Hamilton, the Regents concluded by an overwhelming majority that Baylor University and its football program needed new leadership, Garland wrote. No other university faced with similar circumstances has moved as decisively to change leadership at the highest levels -- its President, Athletic Director and Head Football Coach.These painful, often agonizing decisions were not based on specific incidents -- but on the extent of the problems, organizational shortcomings and repeated failures to care for those who came forward to report sexual violence. With regard to assistant football coaches and other administrators, we decided it would be unfair to remove those further down in the organization for the mistakes of their leaders.Garland ended the letter by apologizing to the victims and their families.That Baylor did not respond as a caring Christian community to those who were hurt grieves all of us -- regents, administrators, faculty and staff, Garland wrote. On behalf of everyone at Baylor, I want to apologize again to the victims and their families. I will do all I can to ensure this never happens again. ' ' '
