Saturday
GII Delaware Handicap $750,000
1. Royal Delta
2. Pachattack
3. Awesome Maria
*This is the race of the day, separating the top three was tough especially because Royal Delta can be dominant, but does not always run her best race, Awesome Maria did not run well last time out which was surprising but dismantled Royal Delta earlier this year, and Pachattack is extremely logical back on the dirt at 1 1/4 miles and will have a serious chance to make an impact on the Delaware Handicap.
