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, according to the organization's 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. The auction begins on Dec. 12 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern, and runs through Dec. 16 at 11:00 p.m. A link to the auction will be shared on LongRun's Facebook page around mid-day on the 12th.
LongRun has been in operation since 1999 and has worked tirelessly to place over 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.
