If you go to the GP site, in the news & events section, Richard Glassman, who is out of work & trying to become an LA cop, explains why he made the decision to claim the horse. Sheets had nothing whatsoever to do with it. As you will see, Glassman did not even talk to Sadler after he made his decision, but instead called the asst trainer, Larry Benabidez. He did, however, talk to Sadler before the GP race & was told that his horse didn't have a chance. So, the "connection" in this case exists because the guy who made the decision on his own called someone who was an asst to a trainer who has used or is using sheets in some unknown fashion & who thought the horse didn't belong in the race. Good thing the out of work guy didn't listen to the guy who provided the sheets with the "connection" they are hanging their hat on. It would have cost him, as you put it, 600 large. As Marc pointed out, you shouldn't believe all the crazy claims suppliers make after a tournament(or a $1 million stakes race). Especially, I would add, claims that insult your intelligence.
