On way back from Belmont visit..
Returning upstate from picking up Tina's son at JFK this morning, and a fun afternoon yesterday that featured a visit to Lloydobler and Ausable Chasm..
Will have a couple of photos to post later once we get home, but it was particularly nice to finally get a look at the filly after 18 months. She is doing very well having settled in to racetrack life, and is exceedingly kind to be around. She is very well built for a 2yo filly, and maintains that pretty, feminine head she had from her earliest images. She has yet to be asked for run in the mornings as Gary eases her into a routine, but she has impressed so far. Lloydobler looks great but is continuing to deal with a problematic stifle that is bothering him enough to limit his work in the mornings. We'll decide in a couple of days whether a 30 day break might be the route to take to ensure that he be ready for Saratoga. In the meantime, in a rather funny incident, he came to the defense of Javier his groom the other day when a rival colt seriously bit Javy on the arm. After the attack, our chestnut responded with swift kicks at the offending party!

Swift get well to LD. Looking forward to seeing Ausable Chasm. I fell deeply in love with her when I saw her in Ocala late March. She's a beauty.

For Lloyd to have just een second behind the winner yesterday, he would have had to have improved about 4.5 lengths from his career best (74) to an 83 Beyer.
