Four of Bob Baffert's GI Kentucky Derby prospects will be transferred to other trainers, according to a press release issued by Baffert Thursday morning.

'TDN Rising Star' Messier (Empire Maker), 'Rising Star' Doppelganger (Into Mischief) and McLaren Vale (Gun Runner) are being sent to trainer Tim Yakteen, and will remain in Southern California. Blackadder (Quality Road) has already left California and will be sent to the barn of Rodolphe Brissett in Kentucky.

HE'S DOING IT FOR THE FANS...

“These are all good horses and they deserve to go,” Baffert told the LA Times.

“It's just such a great race, both the Kentucky Derby and Oaks.

It's great for the fans and the sport. The fans deserve to see these horses run.”

Yakteen was a long time Baffert assistant, I don't remember Brissett having a connection.
