Lloyd runs third

Lloydobler ran a good third for DeeTee Stable in last Thursdays third race at Aqueduct. After breaking sharp from post two, Lloyd moved to the lead under jockey Richard Migliore, remained there past the head of the stretch and stayed on nicely when passed in the stretch. It was a nice effort for the colt who wound up getting beat by four lengths after showing a new dimension with the early speed. A trip over the main track at Aqueduct mid-April is his next likely objective.

Kickin n Screamin goes after her 4th victory in the Dee Tee colors today in the 3rd race today at Philadelphia Park. She is the 2-1 morning line favorite coming off of a good second in the same 5000 class last time.

Redboard King continues to train forwardly in Ocala.

Missus Mayflower still has a sore shin which has prevented us from doing much with her.

Lloydobler back in Thursday

Aqueduct brought back today's cancelled race for LLOYDOBLER on Thursday as the 3rd... Same field but with the addition of a fast-looking Asmussen colt that C.C. Lopez sticks with. Rich Migliore picks up the mount on Lloyd...

If it wasn't for bad luck...

Poor weather has forced NYRA to cancel today's card at Aqueduct meaning Lloyddobler wont be breaking his maiden today. This Winters weather has been particularly nasty and even with the warmer temperatures that March has brought us, there are lingering issues both up North and down South. I am not sure what the immediate options are with Lloyd but hopefully we can get back into a similar race soon.

Missus Mayflower has had some issues with her shins crop up this week which may cause us to miss the Tampa meet and point towards Philadelphia and the mid-Atlantic area this Spring. After a few more days of therapy we will make a decision on how aggressively we are going to treat the shins.

Redboard King has trained really well and seems to have turned the corner towards becoming a racehorse. He is going to work on Monday, going 5 furlongs on the dirt. We are looking at an early April start either at Tampa on the turf or Philadelphia on the dirt. Options for him later this Spring and moving into Summer include Indiana Downs, Churchill Downs, Arlington Park, Delaware or maybe even the much hyped Monmouth uber purse meet.

Kickin n Screamin is going to work tomorrow or Monday depending on the condition of the track and be entered for $5000 nw1 in 6 months race next Sunday at Philadelphia Park.

Not quite ready...

Missus Mayflower was not quite ready to make the March 4th race we originally had selected for her. Her new target is the same race (maiden 12500 going 5 furlongs) at Tampa on March 24th. She worked 5 furlongs over the deep surface at the Classic Mile in 103 yesterday and schooled in the gate as well.
