A similar event happened at Penn not all that long ago, by the way.
John Connor (AKA "The Terminator") -- while lacking the eye-popping win percentage -- is a training wizard with a blockbuster ROI.
He had a horse win 3 straight alw races easily going short -- he hooked Immortal Eyes (who just missed winning a Graded Stake one start prior) in a 75K stake at Charles Town.
The Terminator drops a horse in razor sharp form -- into a $4,000 claiming race.
The result wasn't so pretty according to the result chart.....

The Terminator is 9-for-27 (33% wins) with an impossibly high ROI when he jumps a horse 50% or more in claiming price at Penn. When he drops, it's buyer beware.
