And those are just the winners. Plenty of other East coasters have hit the board in CA.

Most of these are not NY-based horses. The long list of short-priced NY-based horses that spun their wheels in California Cups include Slew O' Gold, Groovy (x2), Dehere, Sky Beauty, Heavenly Prize, Behrens, Grand Slam, Sightseek, and Aldebaran. No NY-based horse won a Breeders Cup dirt race in either 2003 or 1993, the last two times the Cup was held at Santa Anita.
