Big class dropping claimers....
Burna Dette, a daughter of Unusual Heat and a winner of 137K lifetime in earnings .. a nice race mare who was 4th in the 125K Irish O' Brien stakes last year was claimed by Doug O'Neill for $25,000 on June 24th.
He runs her back at Del Mar first off of the claim for 16K - and she beats only one. She's entered at Los Al for a 2K claiming tag on Friday night ... http://www1.drf.com/drfPDFChartRaces...=20100806&RN=3 Breakdown and was claimed. |
He did the same thing on Saturday and Sunday.
The Saturday horse dead-heated for 3rd and was claimed. The Sunday horse won by 4 at odds-on and was claimed. |
I heard outrage coming from people about this. Los Al's one track I truly don't follow.
You'd think that mare would have a little decent residual value as a broodmare prospect. |

What would you say an Unusual Heat daughter that made 137K might be worth as a broodmare?
5 to 8K? |

Her dam has dropped five horses - all multiple winners - 3 of the five made at least 100K and one of the ones who didn't was 4-2-1-0 and had some promise. However, none of the five are black type.
Looks like an honest - if unspectacular female family. |

The market is so bad right now, that you literally can't give away some of these mares. There are mares that you might have been able to get $7k for a few years ago and now you'd have a hard time getting someone to take the horse for free. |

i'm glad someone picked up on this.
i watched the race live and she didn't run a step and broke down very soon after the start and threw dealba over her head. very sad and smells fishy to me. then i saw doug o'neil listed and made me wonder why is this horse here? after looking at the los al stats I noticed he has not had any horses here all year. http://www.losalamitos.com/Admin/pdf...bred_stats.pdf does he really need a check (7,400$ purse) that bad? also...he also had a horse named Back Nine Doc run 3rd on saturday nights los al card. she made it out Ok. |
Hey they got that 2k! Well after shipping and paying the jock and prerace, etc they got $750!
But I'm sure the "authorities" will be investigating this.... |
