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.
My gut is that daddy Dutrow did this with King\'s Swan.

How about 40k oneil and lava man
I second that!!
King\'s Swan was claimed for $90k just before he beat Ogygian. I think it was early 1986.
