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! Last edited by pointman : 02-20-2010 at 08:37 PM.

Just got home to Saratoga from our trip to see Lloyd run today. Just saw the reply as well and couldn't agree more about his run today. Good to see everyone today. Chalk it up as a learning experience and we'll run again another day.

Pictures from Lloyd today
Another great day at Aqueduct. As Nick said, Lloyd was pretty rank from the start. We spoke with CC right after the race and he thought that even with the rankness at the beginning Lloyd should have responded coming around the second turn but just didn't. Gotta love him when he said, he did not respond and I didn't want to hurt him, wanted to bring him back safe. Some of the pictures I have of the start you can see Lloyd's head high in the air, then cocked to the right as he was fighting CC. Sam the bugler posed for a picture with us. Dave took one of the pictures and I am sure he will post it soon. Sam was quite cordial and kept us entertained while we waited for the race to start. Note that Javier was wearing a DeeTee cap while squiring Lloyd around the paddock.
Great to see everyone. Looking forward to Lloyd's next start. Many thanks to Steve, Gary, Chuck and everyone else who helps to keep this circus tent up!! http://www.kodakgallery.com/gallery/..._photos_button

Thanks so much for posting these. For those of us out here in the heartland it helps so much to see them. I'm happy CC was careful with him and he'll come back and get the next one.

Great seeing everyone again today. Great also that Lloyd came back ok too, because I truly believe the third time will be the charm. Next time when we leave that winners circle to watch the replay, it won't be to make room for some other group. Michelle, great slide show. Thanks to Steve, Gary, CC and everyone involved with Lloyd.
