Lloyd spiked a fever last week and missed a couple days of training. He was back on the track Monday and is doing fine, but it looks like we will pass the Sunday start at Philly. Gary wants him at his best for this next try, and given the shipping involved, etc., it's prudent to wait a couple weeks. (And besides, no one is sure if they'll ever run a full card again at Philly the way things are going!)
New options include Aqueduct on 2/16 (MSW or $60k MDN CLM) or Philadelphia on 2/22 (MSW)...
Ausable Chasm has been doing great since the 1/23 race, and with the new approach Gary is taking with her, could well be ready for that spot a week from Saturday (2/12)...
