I realize it is only the second race of the day (so it is obviously tough to judge how fast the race was at this point) but 1:37.64 is pretty fast for this level isn't it? They have been running 1:39+ almost all week, including Greatsilversaint who ran pretty well a couple of days ago.

I'm sure you guys are a little disappointed with 5th, but I think it looks like your boy has some real talent. I look forward to watching his future efforts, and wish the best of luck to you guys with him going forward.

He was very rank early. Chuckie said he wished he had an excuse, but he just was empty on the turn. Hopefully he comes out ok and didn't bleed, hopefully he just used himself up fighting early.

Just saw Gary, Lloyd came out ok. Track is looking like it is favoring inside speed today after another wire job.

Well as long as he came out of the race ok. Just chalk it up to a learning expierence for him. But it was clear that he wanted to go and that Chuckie was fighting him. Better luck next time gang.

For what's it worth, he looked like a million bucks on TV.

Happy to hear he's okay. Better luck next time. Still love you, LD. Thanks, Steve, Gary, and Paul.

Just watched a replay of the race back. Lloyd obviously very rank all the way to the second turn, fought CC that whole way, must have taken quite a bit out of the tank.

The track was insanely inside speed biased with a golden rail, most winners went wire to wire and those that didn't came up the rail in the stretch. Hopefully we get a fair track next time out and he settles better than today, we should get a much better result.

Great time hanging out with Dave, Michelle, JD and the crew today, look forward to the next run!

Also, a big thanks to Steve and Gary, really appreciate Gary dealing with all us today! I, for one, really appreciate the whole experience of race day! It was a blast today despite the result, can't wait to fight another day!
