Budroyale was a pretty nice claim for $50K by Jeffrey Sengara in 1998, when his younger full brother was just a yearling and hadn't become Tiznow. "Bud" went on to career earnings of nearly $3M. He became one of the more popular horses ever on the SoCal circuit.

I don't recall who he was claimed from, but he was a fun horse.

ended up winning a g1 later on.

my idea of a best claim ever would be a mare that went on to produce a superstar runner/stallion for the person that claimed the mare.

Lord of the Game was a pretty nice claim out of his cheap debut some years back.

Nick Canani was last trainer he was taken off. But before Nick, he had been taken by Mike Puhich off Dan Hendricks who took him in his debut from Jay Robbins.

Recoup the Cash went on to win close to a million dollars after Jere Smith took him for $15,000.
