Talked with Richard Migliore at the Old Friends benefit last night. He said he'd be in the paddock today for Lloyd's race. Also had a lot of nice things to say about Ausable. His little girl grew very attached to her when she was at their farm and did a lot of crying when she left. Said he and his family will be there for her next race.
What a nice man - real gentleman.

Looked really good in the paddock - excellent condition. Such a nice, compliant horse.
14 horses going 6 furlongs - pretty crowded real estate. Lloyd got pushed out a couple times on the turn. Can't offer an opinion if the blinkers helped, hindered,or made no difference. Mena did a good job considering the crowding. Lloyd needs to go a bit longer - 6 furlongs isn't getting it done.

Beautiful afternoon and a really nice turnout of current, new and old partners, their families and friends. Lloyd contintues to be absent of his original early lick which leaves him a lot to do. Mena was happy with the way he felt and finished despite being herded 8-9 wide by Mr. Popps. Changed at the 16th pole and galloped out good. Came out of it fine, though he was a little tired when I visited him a bit ago, and will run back soon looking for 7f. Thanks to everybody who was on hand and rooted along and Gary, Paul, Miguel and Julio!
