Royal Delta (foaled February 2, 2008 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. The daughter of Empire Maker is best known for winning back-to-back editions of the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic, and back-to-back divisional titles (American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly, 2011, and American Champion Older Female Horse, 2012. She has won the Grade I Alabama Stakes, Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, Beldame Stakes, and Delaware Handicap in addition to her Breeders' Cup triumphs.
Trained by Bill Mott, Royal Delta won by 12 lengths in her debut as a two-year-old in a one-mile maiden special weight race on October 30, 2010, at Belmont Park. She then finished off the board at ninth in the Suncoast Stakes race at Tampa Bay Downs. In her third career start, she raced at Keeneland Race Course and won an allowance race on the synthetic. Her connections decided to enter her in the second jewel of America's de facto Filly Triple Crown, the Black-eyed Susan Stakes.
