Default MTB going back to Churchill

Just a question....why would Woolley ship MTB to Churchill after the Preakness and not go straight to Belmont?

Why did he sent MTB to Lone Star Park to train before sending him to CD for the derby?

Dont question the Man's methods. He knows what he is doing

He stayed one night at Lone Star I believe... which included a gallop around the track.

because the horse likes it there, and has done well since initially arriving at churchill. rachel also went back to CD after the preakness. but then, i don't think she'll go to ny.
