funny tho that someone brought up saint liam--he didn't ship west too well, and had excuses. so why is that ok to excuse an eastern horse failing, but not a western horse when they ship?
someone is bound to step up--question is 'who?'
as an aside, regarding wilko--what is his value now, since he's about 0-18 since the bcj? they talk about a horse winning a big one, so you can't afford to run him at four (street sense for instance) so what about wilko? wonder what his insured value is now...

Because that horse shipped to several other states and did just fine except for that one time. I think anyone would agree that Saint Liam was a very good horse and threw up some remarkable races in the Woodward and Whitney, but he wasn't exactly an all-time great who was going to bring that sort of game on every race day.
Personally I'm not about to be blown over by a horse who probably is the best we have running right now but would probably get his butt handed to him by a horse like Flashy Bull in the biggest race of the year if Lava even showed up.
