Why??
We've seen this many times, a horse dropped in for a tag too soon. I guess Rich Strike didn't train well on dirt, but I can't understand why you would race a Calumet bred horse that has a good dirt pedigree on turf once, and then immediately put the horse in for $30,000. It doesn't make sense. After the horse broke his maiden by 17 lengths, they had to know right away that they made a mistake. Even if he never wins another GR1, he was a bargain claim.
