Who's hiring these writers
« on: January 19, 2008, 01:00:54 PM »
It\'s not every day you get to claim a $2 million horse for $10,000, but Dallas Keen did just that three races ago with Mercantile, and it has paid dividends for his barn.

Mercantile sold for $2 million at the Fasig-Tipton sale in February 2006.
               
Obviously Nobody bothered to mention the horse is no longer worth 2 million when its entered for a 10 k tag.                                                                            
How about claiming a horse for 25k and winning a GRADE 1? Any handicappers out
there have the answer. The answer must include the trainer and horse\'s name.

King\'s Swan was claimed for $90k just before he beat Ogygian. I think it was early 1986.
