didn't baffert say he would wait til the ky derby to find out if pioneer can handle the surface? i also don't see him leaving a good thing, for a possibly not so good thing. the $$ is in cali, and seemingly ripe for the picking by his horse. besides, if he ships to churchill and loses, everyone will excuse it, and back to cali/syns he'll go. no harm, no foul.
