Pink Lloyd, Canada’s reigning Horse of the Year, sets his sights on an unparalleled 12th straight stakes score, as the chestnut gelding takes centre stage in Sunday’s $100,000 Shepperton Stakes at Woodbine.

After launching his campaign with repeats in the Jacques Cartier, New Providence and Achievement, six-year-old fan favourite Pink Lloyd will also look for an encore in the 6 ½-furlong Shepperton, which followed the Vigil Stakes as his fourth win last season. This year’s $125,000 Vigil, now a Grade 3 event contested at six furlongs, will be run July 29 at the Toronto oval.

A son of Old Forester, Pink Lloyd eclipsed the $1 million mark in Canadian earnings with his latest victory in the $125,000 Achievement Stakes on June 3.
