ベルデイムステークス
After the Alabama Stakes, rather than face her own division again, Royal Delta contested the Grade I Beldame Stakes on October 1 at Belmont Park against older fillies and mares including eventual American Horse of the Year Havre de Grace. After racing close to the lead, she held a clear second in the slop while proving no match for Havre de Grace, who drew off to win by nine lengths.
