horse-of-course: Saturday, September 29, features five Grade 1 races at Belmont Park. Among them? The Beldame. Get to know the two main attractions! Royal Delta, who answers simply to “Royal”, is the reigning Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic winner. The decision to return her to the barn of trainer Bill Mott following her $8,500,000 sale drew headlines. That has worked out well for both the filly and the Mott team, who have been happy to spoil their “Queen Bee” with peppermints. Early in her career, It’s Tricky earned a reputation for living up to her name. As a three-year-old, she was described as a little “difficult.” Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin remarked at the time, “you just have to work around it.” Time and maturity have been beneficial, however. “She’s been much better and behaving very well,” he said. Her favorite treat? Dandelions, which visitors are always happy to provide.

    It’s going to be an interesting Beldame—and hopefully It’s Tricky will get a nice, clean run this time. Ugh that top...
