I think those are pretty solid stats. I know I give an extra look to Jason's horses when he ships to MON or PARX, usually well meant and spotted. John is similar when he ships to NY, usually well spotted and meant.
With bigger operations and shipping now we often forget it was a big deal for a trainer to ship a horse for a race years ago. Usually they were well meant because it was an extra-ordinary effort. They mostly looked in their home condition book.
