Tiz My Sue was only 1 length behind Royal Delta after a 1/4 mile and only 1 length behind Royal Delta after six furlongs -- so it wasn't like she sucked up a lot.

Still, quality win for Royal Delta, especially considering the fact that she's performed below her par when she's had to work hard early in the past.

Smith could have been a lot more patient. Awesome Maria is not exactly that much horse when she's away from the Pletcher haven at Gulfstream Park.
