The chestnut son of top sire Old Forester comes into the race off back-to-back runner-up performances in the Jacques Cartier (G3) and the Vigil (G3), contested on June 20 and August 1, respectively. “He’s like me, he’s getting old,” quipped the 71-year-old Tiller, who will also send out Reconfigure. “He was tons the best in his last race, and he should have won it easily. He was in tight – that’s the kind of luck I’ve had lately with three or four of my horses – and grabbed a couple of times. If you watch the replay, you’ll see how much the best he was.” Souper Stonehenge Denies Pink Lloyd Fifth Straight Vigil Score The gelding, who sports a record of 26-3-2 from 35 starts, is also one of the most decorated thoroughbreds to have ever raced at Woodbine. His Sovereign trophy case also includes four consecutive (2017-2020) champion male sprinter trophies in Canada and a pair of champion older male titles in 2017 and 2019. Add in 4 straight scores in the Vigil the and Jacques Cartier, along with 3 triumphs in both the Shepperton and the Kenora, and the veteran campaigner, bred in Ontario by John Carey, ranks as one of Canada’s all-time great equine stars. “They’re not supposed to be running at the age of nine with the best horses in the country, sprinting against younger horses,” stated Tiller. “But he is. We’re taking another shot at it. We’ve had two seconds in two starts this year. We’re looking forward to running him and we’ll see how he runs. Any race could be his last race, there’s no question about that. But he’s doing really well.” According to Tiller, it’s all system’s go for Pink Lloyd ahead of his latest engagement. “He still acts like a 4 or 5-year-old. I’m really pleased with him. We’ll see what happens. If we get 1 more stake with him – he’s won so many of them – that would be amazing. Frank [Di Giulio], one of my great owners and great friends, said to me that we really wanted to win that race last time out. It didn’t happen because of traffic problems, but if we could win 1 more with him, just to prove how great this horse is… if that was meant to be, that would be amazing. But the most important thing is that we’ll always do what’s right for him. We love him. He’s one of the greatest horses in the last 50 years.” Tiller, who has 2,054 career wins, likes what he sees in his stable star ahead of the Bold Venture test. “I think we’re going to run really, really, really big. He doesn’t know he’s 9. He’s happy, very happy. We’ve pointed him for this race, so let’s hope for the best and that he runs his race.” Pink Lloyd won last year’s Bold Venture in a time of 1:16.03.
