We should also look up how he does shipping overall.....and how he does sprints versus routes in California if we want to get the whole picture.
Remind me tomorrow.

Yeah, but he only ships if he has a horse with good odds. ROI doesn't really tell you that much since it doesn't tell you about the obscene waste of money out of state on horses like Lava Man, Cobalt Blue, Andujar, and Great Hunter who have all gone off at low odds at 9f+ and by my count are yet to hit the board. If he had other winners in that time it would be one thing, but he doesn't. Notional did run second in the FL Derby but I happen to think he was talented enough that he would have won the Santa Anita Derby if he stayed home and would have crushed Scat Daddy if they squared off in California.
