ARCADIA, Calif. Mel Blount Jersey . -- Lord Nelson, the 5-2 morning-line second choice, had to be scratched from Saturdays $1.5 million Breeders Cup Sprint after having to be treated for an infection in his right foreleg, his connections announced Thursday.Trainer Bob Baffert said Lord Nelson nicked himself in either a recent workout or in his stall. Baffert said a little irritation developed into an infection.We thought we had it under control, but today it was really blown up and we had to put him on antibiotics, Baffert said Thursday. Its a shame because he was doing so well. Hell be all right in five days.Lord Nelson, a son of Pulpit, is owned by Spendthrift Farm, which is where the horse will stand stud next year.Lord Nelson, a 4-year-old son of Pulpit, was undefeated in four starts this year, including Grade 1 victories in the Triple Bend, Bing Crosby and Santa Anita Sprint Championship.Its really disheartening, Baffert said. Theres a championship on the line. He was doing so well. One thing about the Breeders Cup, were always on pins and needles. I never had that happen to a horse this close to a race. It was very disappointing for all the connections because we knew we had something special there.Lord Nelson is the second horse to be scratched from the Sprint. Joking, the Grade 1 Vosburgh winner, was scratched Wednesday due to an illness. The Sprint field is now down to seven horses. Robert Golden Jersey .

LOUIS -- St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, whose team missed the playoffs in 2016 for the first time in his five-year tenure, has agreed to a three-year contract extension.The Cardinals announced the new contract Thursday, a day after the rival Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Terms were not disclosed. Matheny had one year remaining on his previous contract, and the extension keeps him with the team through 2020.The Cardinals have averaged 92 wins per season since Matheny took over after Tony La Russa retired following the World Series-winning 2011 season. Overall, Matheny is 461-349.Matheny, 46, a former Gold Glove catcher, led the Cardinals to playoff appearances in 2012 through 2015 before falling one game short this season, including NL Central titles in 2013-2015. He also led St. Louis to the 2013 World Series, losing in six games to Boston.Matheny was lauded for leading the Cardinals to baseballs best record in 2015, a 100-win season in which they lost to the Cubs in the first round of the playoffs. But they dropped to 86 wins last season, 17 1/2 games behind the Cubs.The Cardinals, New York Mets and San Francisco Giants were in a three-way race for the final two playoff spots, with the Cardinals falling just short.Mike has continued the Cardinals tradition of winning in his first five years as manager and we are happy to extend his contract leading our club on the field through 2020, Cardinals principal owner and CEO, Bill DeWitt Jr., saaid in a statement. David DeCastro Jersey. he Cardinals also announced changes in their coaching staff. Bill Mueller, who served as third base coach in Jose Oquendos absence, will return to his former duty as assistant hitting coach. Oquendo missed the entire season after undergoing knee replacement surgery.Oliver Marmol, who was manager of the Class A Palm Beach affiliate, will be first base coach in 2017. Triple-A Memphis manager Mike Shildt moves to quality control coach for the major league team. The Cardinals said all of the other major league coaches will return except assistant hitting coach Derrick May.One of the Cardinals themes has been continuity. Since owner Bill DeWitt Jr. bought the team in 2005, the Cardinals have had just two managers, Matheny and LaRussa, and two general managers, Walt Jocketty and John Mozeliak.I know if you read Twitter or the blogs, [Matheny] definitely takes a black eye out there, but when you watch even the most recent World Series, two of the most highly respected managers in the game were being second-guessed and I think what it really tells you is managing is hard, Mozeliak said. Its certainly hard to appease the masses.With Mike, whether you agree with how he calls a game or not, he certainly has the respect of his players and he gets the most out of them.ESPNs Mark Saxon contributed to this report.Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
