Default Best Claims In History

With the untimely passing of Caixa today, I though it appropriate to think about just what an amazing claim that turned into. Probably top 5 or better in history, however you want to evaluate it. Obviously Lava Man is towards or at the top...Would love to see others help compile a list. I'm not as old as some on here so I'm sure there are some examples I'm not as aware of.

Sorry if I'm off. I thought he was claimed from Headley for 50k....could've been a straight claim....like I said, this thread was started for Caixa, I wasn't looking anything up.

Lava Man was claimed in his 13th start. Lonnie Arterburn trained him as a 2 & 3yo.

13! Okay I am thinking of another horse claimed out of their first then, not him, though he is obviously one of the best claims in history.

Stymie as good a claim as there's ever been.

Taking Risks was claimed by King T. for 20k and earned over a half mil in the mid 90's.
