Kinda surprising. I know Robison transferred him to Asmussen to give him more racing options out east, but they shipped him to Churchill. I thought that meant that Asmussen would do everything to get him ready for the Derby. I guess the only question that remains- is Asmussen any more reliable than Parbhoo lol?
