Nice try...get 'em next time guys!

Love ya, LD. What a thrilling racce. If only you hadn't been on the rail. If, if, if. Thanks also for th "C" note and the sawbuck,:{>:

Just back from Big A. What a fun day and huge effort out of Lloyd. He did change his leads on cue without any problem, Mig said he dug in late and did not want to lose, and you have to love that! Steve, said he came out of the race fine. Once again he broke so well and since no one really wanted the lead Mig went for it and said he went along very easy. It is only a matter of time before we get in the winners circle.

Again a terrific day with the DT faithful, great time hanging out with Michelle, Chris and his wife, Kenny P, JD and crew, pgiaco (nice effort late on your firster), and I finally got to meet Joey (A-team). I got some pictures today, but downloading and figuring out how to post is a whole different story, will try to get them up.

Thanks again to Steve, Chuck and Gary. What an unbelievable day to have one run (especially like that) on Wood/Carter day!

Congrats again to the Dee Tee group on another great race by Lloyd. The Mig was great and nothing but nice/encouraging words about Lloyd. It was very exciting as they were coming down the stretch. It was so nice meeting some of you (i can't believe I missed Joey). Also many thanks to you Steve, my son absolutely loved the paddock and was looking to go back down every race after the second. Thanks again, it was a great day (although it could hve been a little warmer). Here's a few pictures.

Thanks for posting Matt. Great photos. LD is one good lookin horse. Wish I could have been there today.

74 Beyer..

Wonderfully full and entertaining day at AQU Saturday. Thanks to Gary, Chuck, Mig, Paul, Javier and everyone who came out and everyone who rooted along.

Lloyd exited the race in great shape and got back to Belmont full of energy. Am staying by Gary's tonight and will check on the colt in the morning. It was a terrific effort as the handsome red continues to improve and mature. Channing Hill won the race for Hertler and Calvello by moving when he did. Had he waited much longer, it's highly doubtful that he gets past Lloyd later.

Don't believe we all could be much prouder of having a horse in on Wood Day to start with, let alone run as he did. In addition to the great photos from Matt, Gene Vidi, Dave Harmon and Skip Dickstein will all have shots to add from the fun outing. Hope everyone enjoyed the day...

A very solid 2nd battling the whole way. Good going.

congrats !!

great run, Lloyd has a lot of :{>:, thanks for the photos!

Just left the barn. Race appears to have taken little out of Lloydobler who ate up everything last night and is quite full of himself this morning. Legs ice cold. All good.

No training at the NY tracks today, so it was a calm and pleasant morning with hoirses just being walked. Thanks again to Gary, Paul, Javier and the a.m. riders for the good work they've done with our developing colt.

It's going to be a fun spring and summer with Lloyd who may have fallen short in the last jump yesterday, but won lots of fans. Among the admirerer was Tom Durkin who text messaged me yesterday congratulating the Stable on his gameness.

Happy Easter to all. More, and a partner Email, later upon returning Upstate.

i watched the race about an hour and a half after-he ran a great race. dug in so gamely at the end. was very exciting.

I like what the chart had to say of Lloyd's performance. Yielded grudgingly.

Congrats to team DeeTee for a great effort. You'll get them next time!

Lloyd's next race
 

so do we wait and win on Derby day or do the traditional Preakness day thing?

great shots math , thanks for posting.

That was the thing that struck me the most. When he came back to the paddock after the race he still looked like a million bucks. He didn't seem tired at all. He looked fresher than some of the horses that they were bringing in for the third. Overall it was a strong performance and he shouldn't be a maiden much longer. Congrats and thank you again.

Real fun time yesterday! The Dee Tee crew was absolutely bonkers in the winner's circle as Lloyd made his stretch drive. Think that was the first time my son got that "rush" from racing. Was great.

Big thanks to Gary, Steve and Chuck. Was a great call by Durkin too.

Looking forward to the next run.

Lloyd
 

Nothing wrong with a 3rd and 2nd in the MSW races at NY tracks. Money and money.... Still have the condition and would expect him to break his maiden next time out....Got to like those Smarty Jones offspring..... He is turning out to be quite a nice sire....

Congrats to all involved and good news that Lloyd came out of his race in good shape. Looks like one more try at Aqueduct before the Belmont meet starts.

Some pictures from yesterday
 

Another great day at the Big A. As everyone already saw, Lloyd looked great. I was cheering him on so much in the stretch that my photos got a bit blurry. It was really nice to see everyone, although still gnashing my teeth about missing the exacta, trifecta and super when Gary's horse ran lights out!! I got over it by being happy for Gary, but it was a big miss - Nick and I were watching it and looked at each other with our mouths hanging open. I think Nick said something like, "Hey, that's Gary's horse lighting it up!" It was a beautiful day but started to get pretty cold as the day wore on. I have pictures of Paul's (pgiaco) firster, Crescent Moon and some shots from the Wood - will try to post them later. Here are some pictures from Lloyd's race:

excellent job as always!. how did you keep shooting through that stretch dual?

Thanks for posting Michelle. Great pix as always. Looks like it was an awesome day!!!

What an awesome series of photos! Makes you feel like you were there. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome pictures. Thanks so much for posting these. It really means a lot to those of us who can't get there in person. He was right there the whole stretch adn i really thought he was gonna make it. Won't be long!

Tremendous job by the entire team. Lloyd has a lot of heart. It won't be long. The pictures of the stretch run are unbelievable! Viewing them makes you feel like your you're there.

Made trip with my father in law to Belmont this AM to visit Lloyd. Folks in the Sciacca barn were super nice and accomodating.

After the barn, got to hang out at training track for a while and watch Lloyd jog. He looks great and everyone there seems thrilled with him.

Lloyd's next door neighbor (and apparent girlfriend) Rumpus Room gets to try grass in the first today at AQU.
