I was trying to understand this specific one yesterday. Everyone was patting Mike Dubb on the back yesterday for claiming him with the goal of retiring him. Just 5 months ago, Dubb was racing him, and looks like he sold him to The Hills/Gargan, who are getting killed for racing him at the low claiming level. I don't get the outrage, what's changed in the last 5 months?? Am I missing something?
edit: just saw a follow up tweet - Wake Forest was sold at auction for $90k in July. $90k funds a lot of these retirement claims...what a racket.
