The Royal Delta Stakes (formerly the Sabin Stakes) is an American Thoroughbred horse race for older fillies and mares (four-year-olds and up) and is run at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida. A Grade II stakes race, it is currently set at a distance of 1 1⁄16 mile on the dirt with a purse of $200,000.
The race was originally named for the multiple Grade I stakes-winning filly Sabin. Born in 1980, she made 25 starts and won 18 of them. In 2015, Gulfstream Park renamed the race after the three-time Eclipse Award winner Royal Delta, who won the race in 2013.
This race was upgraded to a Grade II for its 2014 running.
