You are joking, right? The g1's on the East coast have been atrocious, save for the appearance of RA here and there.

Both races seem to be really good betting races. I came up with 5 horses in the Alabama and Funny Moon is not one of them.

Zensational eyes pair of Grade 1's
Zensational may have two more starts before the $2 million Breeders' Cup Sprint at Santa Anita on Nov. 6. Sunday, Baffert said Zensational could run in one or two $300,000 Grade 1 races - the Pat O'Brien Stakes at seven furlongs here Sept. 6 or the Ancient Title Stakes at six furlongs at Santa Anita on Oct. 11. "I'll wait two weeks and then I'll know more," Baffert said. "I want to go in fresh for the Breeders' Cup. It depends on his level of energy. He loves to train." In the Bing Crosby, Zensational outclassed four rivals, finishing 2 1/2 lengths in front of the ex-claimer Talkin to Mom Roo. Global Hunter, who won the Grade 1 Eddie Read Stakes on turf here July 25, finished third in the field of five. Talkin to Mom Roo will be pointed for the Pat O'Brien, trainer Ted H. West said. A 6-year-old gelding who was claimed for $40,000 in March 2008, Talk to Mom Roo rallied from fourth in the Crosby. Wow Zensational was ultra impressive in OUTCLASSING 40k Claimer TALKIN to MOM ROO by 2 1/2 lengths in the grade 1 Bing Crosby. He also beat grade 1 Winner Global Hunter in the race.

But that's an occurance all over the country. It's certainly not unusual for a horse to move up to a stakes no matter the reason, it could be maturity, illness a better trainer, whatever. The facts of the matter are the Graded races
everywhere are lacking depth, not just in California, I don't see any better horses running in the graded races back East, Bullsbay was as mediocre as they come and is now a Grade 1 winner, so give me a frigging break, a filly beat him out here last time he ran, you are right about one thing though, we probably do have 30,000 to 50,000 claimers that could have at the very least run as fast as Funny Moon did in that staggerfest of a Grade 1.

So ill give you a break when horses in Cali are passing multiple grade 1 winning horses in the stretch and holding off a grade 1 winner to win the race. Not beat 40k claimers in 4 horse fields to win grade 1's.

ok, who else...you make it sound like this is an everyday occurrence? You can go back a decade if you like. I know Mullins claimed a mdn off headly a few years back and won a few races. Bluesthestandard turned out to be a good sprinter claim about 6 years ago, sprinters seem to be the type that can get claimed and improve. Cmon, who else since you state it so equivocally?
