Not sure how to take The Factor re-route. Is Baffert balking at the 9f distance of the Sunland Park Derby, or is he wanting to run The Factor back in the Santa Anita Derby (giving him a chance to prove himself a viable Derby candidate) if he's successful in the Rebel?

I only know because a friend of mine is loosely involved with Sway Away that he is definitely going to the Rebel. Gomez committed to ride him.
It was kind of curious that Baffert said speed dominates at Sunland. I don't follow it regularly but from what I've seen it's an incredibly fair track. He also said he's taking Euroears to Dubai because he's fast and you have to take fast horses there. I'm not sure he was aware it's on synthetics now and being "fast" is no edge. Kinsale King won the thing for crissakes.
