Dutrow claimed Golden Man in Jan 2005 for $60K. The previous September the horse was running for $12.5K. 
 
Subsequent to the claim the horse won a NW1 and then was an OK -- albeit distant (12 lengths) -- third in the Peter Pan. 
 
Then he ran his back-to-back races. 
 
So it's kind of hard to make the argument that he was a real up-and-comer in the 3YO ranks that summer.
