The 3yo crop in Europe has been terrible this year, but still a bit surprised that Coolmore didn't send something for each race. Stone Age and Concert Hall were apparently too busy being pacesetters in Group 1s last weekend to bother, but O'Brien should have more (and perhaps better) in reserve.
Also, Godolphin has an endless supply of well-bred 3yo geldings (that's the usual treatment when they fail in the classic trials) that could have padded each field.
Maybe management needs to start offering to pay shipping expenses or start wooing the Germans (who historically have always been competitive shipping to NA) a bit more.
