What you can get for 30K this Saturday at Churchill

Great Exuma, a Bernardini colt out of an Elusive Quality mare, won his debut yesterday at CD.....................for $15,000 claimers. He was purchased for a heck of a lot more than that (maybe $300,000?) and was trained by Bill Mott. To spend that kind of $$ on that pedigree, just to dump it for peanuts.......wow. He was claimed by connections I have never heard of.

You, too, could have 2006 Belmont starter Oh So Awesome for $5-8k every two weeks at Evangeline.

Great Exuma was a home bred for Diane Snowden...probably still paid the $60,000 stud fee for Bernardini but they did not pay $300K for him at auction.

oops, thanks! Either way, I don't know how many horses she has, but boy she wanted to get rid of him
