I know he finished last, last time out. Prior to that he had finished first in his last 2 (ungraded) outings. I'm thinking they are going to drop him down in class. That's fine and he will probably excel with a drop. I've followed this horse for a while, I know he doesn't have a commercial pedigree, and I wonder what will happen to him when he is done. Anyone know what Repole's plans are for him?

COuld not find any contact info for Repole.
Maybe this will be helpful.

As for you're question. I would assume at some point soon, this horse will be claimed. Lets hope not though, that can always turn ugly.

Repole sent Cool N Collective to Old Friends, NY so in the unlikely event they couldn't find any farm to stand him -- I'm sure they have a retirement plan, not that he doesn't have plenty of options still on the track being that his last race was at 6 furlongs in a Grade 1 against the best sprinters in the Country.

Love this horse and remembered reading a few nice lines like this one...

I'm sure he'll end up somewhere nice.

“Caixa’s just a special horse and a fun horse to own,” said Repole, who claimed the horse for $62,500 in March 2011. “He might as well be a gelding. He’s coming back. He’s a fun horse to own. We’ll run him until he tells us not to and I promise to get him a great home.”

I'm sure another starter allowance race will appear for him

I love this horse, but he hasn't run in a claiming race since Repole claimed him in 2011 and still finds starter allowance conditions to fit. It is pretty amazing.
