Hide your horses.. None safe from Repole's grasp!
Caixa Electronica nabbed for $62.5k by Repole & TAP Wednesday. And won the shake to boot...
Was honest competitor to begin with, and should be an even more dangerous commodity running out of the Pletcher barn.

Haven't seen many high priced claims of late. Probably a good sign.

Look for the horse to run in the silks of Tim Higgins and Jim Burr next out. Zing!

Repole's on a roll. He claims a horse for 40k who's terrible and turns him into a rabbit, a NY bred for 35k who only brought 16k at a recent auction, another NY bred whose only wins in the last year were on the Saratoga turf course and now this horse with no conditions for 62.5k. You can't fool him.

Caixa is a nice horse. He can really run and should stay goof for Todd. Claiming actively is like an other method of buying horses. You buy several horses and hope that the good ones will more than cover the poor ones. If you can drop and sell the ones that don't pan out or make then rabbits for the good ones, then you have cash flow and can keep on going.
I do wonder how some of TAP's other clients feel about him suddenly filling his barns with horses taken via the box. While he's not exactly churning $10k horses, it does seem that the "wear and tear" on staff caring for more stock might bother owners of almost exclusively stakes type horses (think WinStar, Tabor etc.)

I think it's great he's bringing a horse by the wildly popular Arromanches back to NY.

Caixa Eletronica is nicely bred. He's a hard knocker like his tough, charismatic dad and deserves the praise he's getting on this thread. Looking forward to seeing him run.

It isn't just that they are getting claimed, but for some of there is 4-5 way shakes, last year there was barely 3 claims a week I think I heard.
