With regard to your comment about stakes company in California, over the last 15 years or so I think that California horses have fared much better when they have shipped to NY, than NY horses have done when they ship to California.

good horses rarely ship from New York. There usually are some good horses, like a Zenyatta, but the races at the stake level have zero depth, and look NY has the advantage of shippers from all over the country.
