A Royal Family From first to last picture: Lyphards Delta, Delta Princess, Royal Delta and Crown Queen. In 1999, Group 2 winning mare Lyphards Delta gave birth to an A.P. Indy filly. The filly would be named Delta Princess. During her racing career, Delta Princess won 11 of 30 races including several Grade 3 stakes, but it was as a broodmare where she left her mark. Delta Princess is the dam of champion mare Royal Delta (by Empire Maker) and now another Grade 1 winning filly named Crown Queen (by Smart Strike). She is also the dam of stakes placed runners Carnival Court and Empire Way. Bill Mott trained all four of these mares.
