Baffert made a similar move this year with a horse called Solar Rocket, who was coming off a year layoff following a race where he had lost by a head in 1:07 1/5, he was dropped in for $12.5k non-winners of 2, where amazingly he was only 6/5, and won by 12 in 1:08 1/5.
Only one claim was put in for him, by Mark Glatt, who ran him back two weeks later for $16k, he won easily in 1:14 3/5 for 6 1/2 f and wasn't claimed. He has won 2 of 6 for $52k since being claimed, and is entered Saturday in a $39k allowance optional claimer at Fairplex, so he certainly was a good claim for $12,500.
