Zac Lloyd is not getting the headlines of last year but his second season is twice as good as his first in Sydney.
Zac Lloyd came into Sydney with a bang last season, but there are no second-season blues as the star apprentice continues to build a career in a somewhat quieter manner.
He has earned nearly $10 million in prizemoney, which is double his total in his first season with a couple of months to go, and sits sixth on jockeys premiership. “I have learned patience. I was just trying too hard and going for runs that weren’t there,” Lloyd said. “I was just desperate to prove myself last year, but I have my place in the jockeys room now. I’m not putting as much pressure on myself.”
“ Scarlet Oak is probably my best ride at Gosford. I rode her first up when she was second in the James Carr and she gave me the feel of a very good filly. “During the carnival they can get the seniors on their best hopes, and I just have to wait my time,” Lloyd said. “I’m learning so much from Darren and the team there, and I’m a better rider because of it.
