Royal Delta – Grade III
1 Mile Dirt Stake Purse $150.000 Filly & Mare 4 Year Olds And Up.

1st Pumpernickel Basil D J C Racing Stables Jaramillo E

There would’ve been no more popular winner than this daughter of Hannibal Lector who stormed home from the perfect trip to score by three quarters of a length. She is pretty effective in this grade but she will have to step up or face a penalty now but for today she put a smile on her old trainers face.

2nd Harsh Mb Stables Zayas E J

The wide gate spat her to the lead and she opened up quite a substantial one only to see it cut down in the stretch. I dont think the result would’ve been any different if she had gone back but her trainer will certainly be hoping for a better draw for her next start.

3rd Ideal Bella Barcelona Farms Albarado R J

Her huge winning run finally came to and end but she ran well enough that i suspect we may see her winning again pretty soon. She has heart a plenty and still has one of the best winning records in the game.

4th Hands Up The Sidley Stud Leparoux J R

She was only a length back in fourth at the end and ran her usual honest race.
