Default 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.

Who could blame them.. Had to look up the breeding. The stallion has had a fair amount of early success with an extremely modest book of mares.

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

Maybe he's just spending his Timely Writer money already.

That and maybe because the horse is fast....

On the claiming front, they have been claiming horses like crazy out in California, very interesting considering alot of people think California is dead money.

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.

The 40k claim was bad because the horse is finished. His previous race shows that. His Tom Fool winner has what doubled the investment already? His claim yesterday can run, and one must assume Todd moves him up.

I give the guy a little credit. He does like horses that race and he places them were they can be successful. The "driven" horses race often enough, and he certainly loves the tradition of NY racing. He makes racing in NY a bit more colorful, nobody is prefect?

I know Rome's horse got claimed, who was the other?

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.
