Undefeated Pink Lloyd Seeks Another Achievement
Pink Lloyd, Canada's reigning Horse of the Year, will seek an 11th straight stakes score in the $125,000 Achievement Stakes at Woodbine. The consistent son of Old Forester heads into the six-furlong, main-track event for trainer Robert Tiller off yet another impressive performance—a dominant 6-1/4 length victory in the New Providence Stakes.
This came after he set a track record in the Jacques Cartier Stakes. For John Carey, the man who bred Pink Lloyd, watching the chestnut gelding's unprecedented run is both deeply rewarding and nerve-wracking.
"Now we kind of expect it, but it brings out the nerves. All I can say is that I came to this country 41 years ago and I never thought I'd breed a nice sprinter like this guy.
"There's no question he was a very nicely made horse and he had beautiful conformation," Carey said. "The biggest thing with him was that he had the potential to be a good racehorse.
Champion jockey and regular rider Eurico Rosa da Silva doesn't mince words when it comes to where Pink Lloyd slots in on his top horses list. It's a sentiment echoed by Glenn Sikura, chief steward of the Jockey Club of Canada, who owns and operates Hill Dale Canada.
