Royal Delta put in a nice half mile breeze at Belmont this morning.

4f in 46.52.

This makes her 3 week work tab off the Beldame:

10/12: 4 furlongs 46:50
10/19: 5 furlongs 59:69
10/26: 4 furlongs 46.52

All bullets.

I'd say she's sharp. Especially in consideration of her works prior to the Beldame

9/23: 4F 47.88 7/70
9/16: 5F 1:02.90 9/18
9/6: 4F 48.43 5/22

Does this lend credence to Mott stating she was not fully cranked up for the Beldame?

She may be too cranked up to take back. With all the talk about Beholder loose on the lead she may never see it. Remember Royal Delta cut out fractions of 22.3. , 45.4 , 1.09.4 last year. Beholder has never been those fractions routing. Even with only a 6 horse field don't think we are seeing a slow pace in here.

one work that they think was better than GC's, and you take that to mean he's the better horse?!

Since you seem to have a comment about everything, without really commenting on anything, show me where I said he is better? Please show me this..... Its a rare talent IMO to be able to say so much, but never really say anything productive, and you are strong at this all over this place.
