This is a fun topic to google- so far I found an article about Cetewayo, who ran in a $13,000 claimer, and went on to win a G1 at age 8!

And this article from 1993, about Jerkins, says in 1973, he took two cheap claimers and won G1s with both of them, but it didn't say who they were:

there was a horse in the mid 80s out in socal by the name of skip out front.

he was once running for something like 5k at some podunk tracks in the east somewhere and when switched to turf became a top class runner. i think he won the eddie read one year.
