Ben Leon pays $8.5MM for Royal Delta
 

Will keep racing..

What stable does he race under?

Not familiar with the name.

I assume Mott will still train (?)

Hope she stays with Mott. I wouldn't want to be reading a year from now that she has liver problems.

Besilu Stable. To date, he has run a few horses with Pletcher.

Why don't you look up who the agent was.

Leon, who said Royal Delta was a birthday gift for his wife, Silvia, confirmed that the filly will race again next year, though it is undecided who will train her.

I doubt that. Who was the agent again?

It says she is likely going to Pletcher.

The quote I quoted above was from the Keeneland website. When I looked at the results there, they only listed the consignor. Perhaps it's listed elsewhere.

Silvia must be good between the sheets.

I wonder if he also gave her any gift cards.

$8.5 milly for a birthday gift. I hope she is better than "Good"...she needs to be "f*cking amazing" for that kinda dough.

:) Must be. This is for Sylvia.:tro:

This is for Ben:L:

With Pletcher or Mott.. Has Ben had a winner with Pletch?

Equibase says that he's had two wins worth $43K. The only one that I can think of is Unbridled Ocean, who broke his maiden at Belmont this fall - and cost $875K.

43k whats that ROI on 40mil invested

:zz:

it's a breeding operation Freddy.

Oh I didn't realize the 4mil he paid for the balance colt was for Breeding purposely only or the other 15 mil he has spent on yearlings etc. You are right I forgot about the residual value for the colts that never make it with "big pages".......................In India. How many rubies you think he will garner

They own some expensive colts and retain Todd Pletcher as a their trainer, so I think they mean to race at some point.
