ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Pink Lloyd recorded his eighth consecutive stakes win with a 2 1/4-length victory over Ikerrin Road in the Grade 2, $197,050 Kennedy Road Stakes on Nov. 25, capping a perfect 2017 campaign. Trainer Robert Tiller said Pink Lloyd will not race again this season and will spend the winter at Buttigieg Training Centre in Egbert, Ontario. Tiller said the plan is to bring Pink Lloyd back next year as a 6-year-old. He added that the connections have not finalized potential target races or if Pink Lloyd would make a start away from Woodbine next season. “The only plans we have right now are to give him a good winter and to get him back to the races and go from there,” he said. “He’s been extremely well managed so far, and we’re not going to make the mistake that a lot of people make. We’ve been doing this long enough. We’ve got wonderful owners and we’ll figure it out.” :: Save on PPs, digital subscriptions, and more! Tiller said he believed Pink Lloyd is in better form now than he was during the summer, but the Hall of Fame trainer is confident the son of Old Forester will come back to the races in good order following his winter break. “It’s hard to stop on a horse when he’s that good, but it needs to be done and we love him,” he said. “Any time you stop on a horse, you always worry about them coming back the same, but I’m sure he will.” Pink Lloyd improved his record to 11 wins in 13 career starts with his victory in the Kennedy Road. Tiller said Pink Lloyd ranks among the best horses he’s trained, a list that includes 2001 Canadian Horse of the Year Win City and Domasca Dan. “He’s done everything that I thought he could do and more,” he said. “He’s by far the best sprinter I’ve ever had in my life. We’ve been very blessed and lucky to have some really good horses over the years. To me, he’s right at the top.”
