Royal Delta, 9th in the G1 Dubai World Cup, has resumed galloping for trainer Bill Mott.   
  • Mary Z. · From nyra notes: “She’s just started up galloping,” said the trainer. “She’s been tack-walking and jogging, and she got to feeling so good I had to start training her. I can’t hardly hold her on the ground.” · 19 days ago ·

Who does Royal Delta think she is? Did Mott really think he had another "Zenyatta" on his hands? I would like to have what Mott was smoking.

  • AmbitiousD · I agree with you completely Icy. She was in great position around the first turn, but the bump on the backstretch really sent her backwards. No bad words for Mott though. He has a brilliant filly, and her 2012 campaign is only getting started. · 43 days ago ·

Hello to all from Dubai. Normally, we are quick to put together post-race thoughts on the full gamut of activity from the 2012 Dubai World Cup, but given the emotionally charged nature of the day, both powerful and challenging, we thought it best to let our thoughts settle for some time. We do not v...Read More
Could anyone tell what happened to her? She was up close then dropped back pretty quick. I was afraid she was being pulled up. Did she get into trouble when Transcend started backing up?

  • Mary Z. · She'll be fine. I'm glad she got this chance. After all, she only ran in her maiden race a year and a half ago. Now to come home, rest, just a little, maybe lose another prep, and then kick some dust in other horses' faces. · 46 days ago ·
