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.

yes the speedy dearest trickski turned out to be a very good claim as a youngster, she actually won a few races throughout the year.

ok, who else...you make it sound like this is an everyday occurrence? You can go back a decade if you like.

I know Mullins claimed a mdn off headly a few years back and won a few races. Bluesthestandard turned out to be a good sprinter claim about 6 years ago, sprinters seem to be the type that can get claimed and improve.

Cmon, who else since you state it so equivocally?
