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.

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.

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.

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.
