No comment on the Baffert horses, but a) owners seldom choose where their horses will run, b) neither they nor their trainers usually have an idea of the right place to run (Baffert being an exception), c) lots of other factors besides purse size (like geography and an unwillingness to ship) determine where horses run, and d) the trainers of the last 3 Derby winners were Shirrefs, Servis, and Tagg, who didn't have a whole lot of Derby experience between them.
