Parlo Stakes winner Roman Invader and jockey Junior Alvarado led through the first half in :46.71 before being challenged by Royal Delta rounding the turn for home.
You also have to consider Royal Delta gave up 3 pounds and was bothered on the lead ,as a result wasn't slightly taken out of her element.
The Beldame only serves as a prep for the bigger stage in the Breeders Cup Ladies Classic where Royal Delta will be at her peak.
Mike Smith was asking Royal Delta for her best he went to the whip several times he did let up near the finish as it was evident that Royal Delta was not going to win. Mike is a Hall of Famer and he is not going to keep whipping her if she is giving him her best and he knows they are beat.
two great horses--princess of sylmar just seems to be getting better and better -i know it wouldn't happen but would be great to see her in the classic.
Princess of Sylmar, easily the three year old champion filly. Maybe champion overall she has been pretty consistent this whole year, and Delta is hard to beat.

She would have a genuine chance in the Classic.
