He's admitted that he is having a less than stellar year, by his own standard. The point was that ROI and winning percentage don't correspond. Unless an owner is a big bettor, ROI takes a back seat to wins. K McL has more for Darley now that they bought out the Stonerside stock and clearly that's usually a good way to make money and win races. The problem is that if any of them are really good, they get exiled to Dubai and go to Rick Mettee when they get back. If they come back bad, McLaughlin gets them back...
Hushion is a very good trainer and his barn was once known as a "betting" barn, esp. when Barry Schwartz was his main client.
