On Feb. 26, the 13-year-old Cool N Collective will try again to become one of the oldest horses ever to win a race in New York when he faces six others in the first race at Aqueduct.

In his first start at age 13, Cool N Collective finished second in a 1 1/16-mile race on Jan. 31. The veteran gelding is one of the oldest Thoroughbreds to run in New York and last won at Aqueduct two years ago at age 11. He was then claimed and taken to Suffolk Downs for most of 2009, but in the fall was purchased privately by former owner Mike Repole and brought back to New York, where he will make his 81st lifetime start in the one-mile claiming race.

In 2000, 13-year-old Federal League won at Finger Lakes.

Cool N Collective made the very first start of his career at Aqueduct 10 years ago while in the care of Reade Baker. Since then, he has raced at more than a dozen tracks, including Keeneland, Hoosier Park, Fair Grounds, and Woodbine, before being returned to his roots and new trainer Bruce Brown
