Just off phone with Gary... Lloydobler scoped clean yesterday after the race and is 100% this morning. Obviously a disappointing finish Saturday, but no harm done. The colt never got to relax as he did in the debut, and tired after fighting with Lopez early, pressing the pace for three quarters and failing to change leads. We'll likely return to 6f for the next start in about 3 weeks.
Glad those that came out had a nice day. Thanks to Gary, Paul, Javier and CC for taking care of Lloyd. We'll look forward to the next outing!
