It's about Baffert leaving to NY or Mitchell leaving to Chicago. It started with Lobo, who is next?

Baffert, when did he leave? He has run horses at Saratoga and ny for a decade, thats a very weak argument. Mitchell, last I checked he was right near the tops for wins, he left, who knew.
The trainers aint leaving, the owners are not sending their horses away, some are relocating themselves, some are not buying horses and bringing them in the first place.
Lobo leaving, thats funny. Many of his owners are not even local to socal.
I explained this to you last night, the 40k level horse, those owners have gotten swallowed up in the economy in california, it has zip to do with the surface.
Of course Freddy the discussion was about horses shipping in, then you change it to that does not fill a 40k race. Thats an apples and oranges discussion and you very well know it.
