Wow, that was exciting! No getting to the winner, but Lloyd ran a fantastic race and he'll learn a lot from it.

I don't think anyone is saying this horse is a world-beater
It's a first race. The positive experience is most important, I'd say. He lucked into a good experience for a firster - sat behind, got plenty of dirt kicked in his face but wasn't bumped, pinned, intimidated, checked; then got to come out and learned he has to - and he can - pass horses.That he got money is a bonus.

Just got home from the Big A. Lloyd was teriffic, took a ton of dirt in his face but wanted to and did pass horses. No one was beating Assman today. Very professional first start for this colt who proved he belongs in this class. A big thanks to Steve and Gary both of whom could not be more accommodating today. Lloyd came out of the race fine. Great to see the crew today and I can't wait for the next start! Also, a thanks to Michelle, look forward to the pictures from today! Congrats to my fellow owners!

We would love to have been there at Aqueduct, but it just wasn't possible. Instead I was making a fool of myself at OTB with old men staring at me like I had lobsters climbing out of my ears and Bill trying to nail my feet to the floor. Of course when the inveterate gamblers learned that Bill and I had a piece of this boy, they had a gazillion words of advice and wisdom.
We are so happy and so proud of LD his first time out and not against a bunch of tomato cans. Paul Barone called us about 20 minutes after the race to tell us he came out of the race AOK. Here's the race for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. He's a bit green coming down the stretch, but that's not anything to worry about for the future. It's a learning experience for him. Can't help but notice how he goes whizzing by a very tired winner in the gallop out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPuqrEqzs40&feature=sub How can anyone not love this face?!~

Have to run out for a few hours, so a more involved report will have to wait, but suffice to say it was a nearly perfect afternoon for Dee Tee and the start of Lloydobler's career. We had a great group on hand, a beautiful day at Aqueduct and as ideal a debut as a horse can have without winning. Our Smarty Jones colt handled almost everything he encountered like complete pro, starting with the drive from Belmont to the Big A and his 6 hour stay in the detention barn. He was composed and diffident in the Paddock, with a glistening coat that was dappled throughout. He entered and stood in the gate like it was his 20th start, and did close to everything C.C. Lopez asked.
The experience factors did come into play when he startled a tad as the grandstand came into view, (something he did when he worked on the Saratoga main track the first time this summer), and in his changing leads late in the race. Otherwise, he broke alertly, took lots of dirt and persevered past horses when asked. And obviously, as always, dug in PAST the wire around the clubhouse turn. Lopez was thrilled with Lloyd, and obviously Gary, Chuck and all the partners/supporters were as well. He came out of it fabulously, and as I had Tina write last night, was energetic and happy in his stall after the race. Gary reports this morning he is 100%, ate up and wondering why he doesn't have to go to the track today... We'll see how he responds the next several day and how he works in the mornings coming out of the race, but there is another 6f MSW in three weeks (2/13) or a 1m MSW in four (2/20) that are obvious targets for a second start. In the meantime, thanks to Chuck and Gary for the great work that went into this very solid start to Lloydobler's career debut, and to everyone who came out in support of the handsome chestnut Saturday.
