Giants general manager Bobby Evans said in a text message. But

Gary Portelli will wait to see what an improving Sydney weather forecast brings before giving up the chance to win a restricted race worth as much as some Group Ones.Until Friday, Portelli thought he was in the box seat to train the Inglis Nursery winner with impressive filly She Will Reign the shortest-priced Villiers day runner at Randwick on Saturday.She Will Reign is odds-on to claim the $500,000 for graduates from this years round of Inglis yearling sales.But Randwick was downgraded to the heavy range on Friday morning, a rating that puts She Will Reign in extreme doubt to back up from her eight-and-a-half length win at Kembla Grange last week.Portelli is adamant he wont risk She Will Reign in the mud, but he will give weather experts every chance to be on the money with their forecast for clearing skies.Id hate to scratch prematurely then see the day turn out to be a drying track and get up into the slow range, he said.Thats why Portelli is preparing himself for a sleepless night as prepares to wait until close to Saturdays scratching deadline before making a call.If (the race) wasnt worth so much money there wouldnt be any decision to be made, Portelli said.But its worth two hundred and eighty thousand (dollars) to the winner. Its like winning a Group One so its a very serious decision to make.Weve got to leave it to the death.Portelli said She Will Reign had thrived in the week since her Kembla Grange win, a victory that took her to the top of Golden Slipper betting charts.I know it sounds silly because she has won by eight (lengths), but she looked a bit soft, he said.She looked like she would improve with the run and that would have her spot-on for the weekend.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Brian Kellys worst season at Notre Dame took an embarrassing turn Tuesday as the NCAA announced that academic misconduct orchestrated by a student athletic trainer will cost the storied program all 21 victories from the 2012-13 seasons, including the 12-0 run that vaulted the Fighting Irish into the national championship game against Alabama.It marked just the fourth time the NCAA has cited Notre Dame for a major rules violation. The vacated games include Notre Dames 12 victories in 2012, their best regular season since winning their last national championship in 1988. The season finished with an embarrassing 42-14 loss to the Crimson Tide in the title game and the revelation that linebacker Manti Teo had been the victim of a fake girlfriend hoax.The school ripped the NCAA for its decision to vacate the wins and immediately said it would appeal. The Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, said the NCAA has never before vacated records in such a case.We believe that imposition of the vacation of records penalty without serious underlying institutional misconduct will not primarily punish those responsible for the misconduct, but rather will punish coaches, student-athletes and indeed the entire institution who did nothing wrong and, with regard to this case, did everything right, Jenkins said. He noted the NCAA has since voted to change the rule that brought this case under NCAA jurisdiction rather than leaving such decisions to individual schools.The Division I Committee on Infractions panel also put Notre Dame on probation for a year and ordered a $5,000 fine, penalties the school agreed with. There were no bowl or scholarship punishments.According to the NCAA, the trainer was employed by the athletics department from fall 2009 through the spring of 2013 and partially or wholly completed numerous academic assignments for football student-athletes in numerous courses from 2011 into 2013. It said she did substantial coursework for two players and gave impermissible help to six others in 18 courses over two academic years. The NCAA said the woman continued to provide impermissible academic benefits to football student-athletes for a full year after she graduated and was in her first year of law school elsewhere.In all, the NCAA said, three athletes would up playing while ineligible, one during the 2012 season and the other two the following season, when the Irish went 9-4.Kelly said he knew the vacated wins were a possibility since Notre Dame officials met with the NCAA several months ago. He said he had hoped reasonable people would come to a reasonable decision.If doing the right thing means that youve got to put an asterisk next to these gammes, thats fine with me, he said.ddddddddddddWe still beat Oklahoma. We still beat Wake Forest, we still beat all those teams, so you can put an asterisk next to it. If that makes you feel better, then thats fine with me.He said he doesnt believe he has any culpability in the case and has no reason to believe he wont be back as Notre Dames coach next season.I think you guys are confusing this statement with the win-loss record, said Kelly, whose struggling team has a 4-7 record ahead of Saturdays game at No. 12 USC. A win-loss record is always under scrutiny at Notre Dame, and it should be. Thats part of it.The report doesnt name the players involved, but stems from an investigation that began in August 2014 , when the university suspended defensive lineman Ishaq Williams, receiver DaVaris Daniels, linebacker Kendall Moore and cornerback KeiVarae Russell, who werent allowed to play that season. The school later benched safety Eilar Hardy, who was allowed to return in midseason. Russell returned and played for the Irish last season. Quarterback Everett Golson was suspended for the fall 2013 semester for what he termed poor judgment on a test.Notre Dame players said after practice Tuesday that Kelly explained the NCAA announcement after practice. They said it has no effect on them.Its just a couple of guys made a mistake and the whole team goes down with it, left tackle Mike McGlinchey said.McGlinchey said he wasnt worried about the victories being vacated.We know we won the games, said McGlinchey, a team captain. Theyre not going to take that away from us. They can take it away in the record books all they want, but we won the games.It was the first major NCAA violation for Notre Dame since 1999, when the school was placed on probation and had two scholarships taken away because of the relationship between Irish players and former booster Kimberly Dunbar, who embezzled more than $1.2 million from her employer and then lavished the players with gifts, trips and money. The NCAA also lists two other major infractions : in 1971 for the improper administration of financial aid and in 1954 for improper tryouts.If the NCAA erases all 21 Notre Dame victories, the Irish would fall from the school with the second-most wins in NCAA history behind Michigan (935) to fifth place with 875. That would place them behind Texas (892), Nebraska (889), Ohio State (885) and tied with Alabama (875) heading into the game against the Trojans, where they are 17-point underdogs.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .
