Royal Delta had a huge year in 2011, both on the racetrack and in the auction ring, and the filly will kick off 2012 with an Eclipse Award as new owner Ben Leon Jr. points her toward greater accomplishments.

On Jan. 16, Royal Delta was honored as champion 3-year-old filly, garnering 243 of the total 248 first-place votes cast. Awesome Feather received two votes, as did Plum Pretty. Zazu received one vote.

An impressive winner of her only start at 2, Royal Delta toward the top of racing’s 3-year-old division by winning or placing in six of her seven starts in 2011, including  victories in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (gr. II) in May and in August’s TVG Alabama Stakes (gr. I). In the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic (gr. I) posted her fifth career win in eight starts under jockey Jose Lezcano and extended her earnings to $1,694,600.
