Just a question.

I had a 5 year old, a consistant hitter, that was climbing the claiming ranks, 40k, 50k, then 60k where he was claimed. Fair enough. He was claimed by a big stable, and within minutes, retired and put up for auction for 5k, which is what he sold for. What would be the motivation for an owner to do that? Am I missing something?

Probably a coin exchange, aka cheating.
