Think about what u are saying here for just a moment. U saying he's afraid to ship him out of state to face the vaunted Star Dabbler and Cielo Gold in the Indiana Derby......but willing to ship him out of state to face Bernardini and Invasor as well as Lava Man? What kind of sense does this make? U say that horse has proven he's not a great shipper only because he lost races that he would have lost anywhere. If he was facing Bernardini and Barbaro in California, he still would have lost. Then would u say that he needs to ship to Mexico because he's proven that he's not able to win in the U.S.? He lost those races not due to shipping but due to facing better horses, something that he wouldn't have had to do in Indiana or West Virginia. If he was shipping and losing to the same horses that he had beaten in Cali, then u would have a point. But there is nothing to suggest shipping has been the problem. The competition has.
