Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee Robert Tiller has donated the racing bridle of multiple-time Canadian champion Pink Lloyd to an auction to benefit the LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society.
The Auction begins Sunday, December 12th at 12:01 a.m. and runs through Dec. 16 at 11 p.m. LongRun will share the link to the online auction midday on the 12th on its Facebook Page.
The 9-year-old Pink Lloyd was retired to LongRun after his victory in the G2 Kennedy Road Stakes at Woodbine on Nov. 27, the 26th stakes win of the magnificent gelding’s career. He was named the 2017 Canadian Horse of The Year, six-time Sovereign Award winner, with 38 starts, 29 wins and earnings in excess of $2.4 million.
The bridle was only ever worn by Pink Lloyd, and it was worn in all of his races.
LongRun has been in operation since 1999 and has worked tirelessly to place over 1,000 Thoroughbreds in new adoptive homes. It is the first industry-funded adoption program in Canada, and works directly with owners and trainers stabled at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, and Fort Erie Racetrack in the Niagara region to offer a responsible retirement option for their horses.
