One of those wins was a grade 3 stake. Why would you risk this horse for 75K when there is no apparent benefit? There is no weight break in the conditions.
How do you interpret this move? Is this a big red flag?

Well..at face value, a $25K profit on the claim, plus all that purse money equals a very nice profit in less than a year. I didn't look at the PPs so obviously that makes no sense if he/she is owned by a Sheik, but it would be a heck of a run for a "smaller" owner. But, that being said, I don't know if I would make that claim or not
