Two names off the top of my head? Happy Ticket and Perfect Drift. Do you really want me to continue?
That's why I'm a huge Wait a While fan. She not only did it, she did it twice. Oh and Todd Pletcher, too. When he ships 'em, they're ready to run! And he's had some success aside from Wait a While. Remember Texas Glitter? Of course they're both turfers, but still...
I want to know what the difference is between shipping from CA to NY and shipping from NY to CA? Answer: nothing. California horses seem to do it all the time while when NY horses dare do it, which is rarely because they know better, they typically get their a$$es kicked.
It's a fact! Hell, more foreign horses ship here and win than NY (and, possibly, KY) horses!

I would guess that there is a simple reason that more horses ship towards the east to race. It's because that is where the majority big race opportunities are. If you're based in the east there is usually no need to go all the way out west to find a race. It's not because they get their but kicked everytime when horses go out west.
