DrugS, while I am sure your stats are right, remember that owners don't care about ROI when they are running in G1 races. WPT cares about win percentage in allowance and stakes races. VOLJACK is right about his babies this summer but when asked prior to the meet McLaughlin said he doubted he'd have a shot at a repeat of his title. He didn't think he had the stock. Alot of those Stonerside bred Darley babies are bred for 2 turns and a 3yo campaign.
WPT has very high markups and though they have had alot of success, if you get in on the wrong horse you are quickly out of money and have to start over.
