Midshipman went bad last year but did run well on the return. Regal Ransom and Girlamo were productive 3yos. Vineyard Haven won a couple of good races.
The ones they have this year were no-hopers anyhow. They ran Tahitian Warrior at 9f on grass last time.
I would rather that these horses stay in the US with either McLaughlin or Albertrani or Rick Mettee, but when you look at the promising 2yo's of the last 20 years and how few made the Derby, they are about on par. last I knew it wasn't "criminal" to send horses to to bad trainers. It happens in the US every day.
