ROYAL DELTA WINS THE BLACK-EYED SUSAN STAKES!

Royal Delta rallied impressively, first on the rail and then on the outside, to win the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (gr. II) at Pimlico Race Course by two lengths.

Under Jose Lezcano, the filly rated in the fourth position as Hot Summer, Wyomia, and Buster's Ready set testing fractions. On the far turn, she snuck through along the inside with a bold run to challenge for the lead. Hot Summer was still going strong up front, but Royal Delta blew past her and held off a late run from Buster's Ready to win the race.

Buster's Ready stayed on well while racing greenly to finish second, with Hot Summer holding third. Love Theway Youare finished fourth, while Wyomia tired badly to finish last.
