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.

BLACK-EYED SUSAN STAKES PICKS
The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (gr. II), the feature race today at Pimlico Race Course, has a long history of famous winners. Davona Dale, Silverbulletday, and Serena's Song are among the magnificent fillies to have won this race in the past.
This year's field is small -- only five horses have turned out. But it's an intriguing bunch, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a future grade I winner emerge from this race.
As it is post time, there is unfortunately no time for in-depth analysis of the race. So I shall merely list my selections, along with J.R.'s.
My picks are:
1 Royal Delta
2 Wyomia
3 Buster's Ready
J.R. has picked:
1 Hot Summer
2 Royal Delta
3 Buster's Ready

HOT SUMMER WINS THE COMELY!
Hot Summer pulled off an upset in the grade III Comely Stakes this afternoon at Aqueduct, rallying up along the rail under Luis Saez to win the one-mile event by two lengths.
Patiently ridden, the filly was along the inside from the start and burst clear of the field turning for home. Her Smile, the second choice, gamely gave chase on the far outside but was no match for the winner. Heavily favored Ava K. tired in the stretch to finish third after making a bold run on the turn. R Holiday Mood completed the order of finish.
The final time was 1:35.58. The winner is trained by David Fawkes.
