Anyone know the closest OTB to Hilton Head Island?

Probably the Jacksonville Dog Track in Florida. Seriously. I don't think there's any OTB's in SC or GA at all.

Though he didn't win a grade 1, he came close 2nd in the BC Sprint. Bluesthestandard was a 10K claimer many times.

But wasn't Bluesthestandard a 10k claimer AFTER he accomplished that?

And then eventually I think Kristen Munhall bought him for like 7500 or something and retired him

Another "intersting" topic-- G1 winners that became cheap claimers.

Speaking of Ted West, one of the great alltime claims had to be Budroyle, half to double BC champ Tiznow. Not bad!

True, I didn't mean to imply he didn't. He was a very, very good horse in his own right.

He is a full sibling to Tiznow.

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:

Thanks, I knew they were related just not that close.
