This is 1 out of how many? that's coming up a little light on talent, in Cali they have 30-50g claiming horse taking G1's on the regular out there. Name 1 horse that has risen out of the claiming ranks on the east coast that has taken a G1 recently.

You are joking, right?

The g1's on the East coast have been atrocious, save for the appearance of RA here and there.

How about this, at least the east coast has grade ones where you can recognize at least one of the horses in the race. Out there is a bunch of nobodies chalking up G1's, its a joke.

when is this happening? Site specific examples? Yes Lava Man was once claimed as a youngster and turned out (so did John Henry in California) but you throw this around and its not accurate. What grade 1's are being won by 30-50k claimers?

FORMER claimer Dearest Trickski became a winner at the highest level at Santa Anita on Saturday, leading throughout to land the final Grade 1 of the year under jockey Mike Smith by a length and a half ...

Thats one

Heres another, Sun Boat, former claimer, took the San Diego hanicapp at Del Mar. Grade two but you get my drift, no way these horses pull down grade one on the east coast or twos.
