It basically comes down to the quality of the horse. Nothing about west coast being inherently stronger than the east.

I am sure the theory is wrong, I will just continue to bet the shippers....and collect.
I will continue to bet the turfers coming west, either through straight ships or through barn changes.....and collect.
