Delta Princess Stakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Delta Princess Stakes is an American ungraded stakes race for Thoroughbred race horses run each December on the dirt at Delta Downs in Vinton, Louisiana.
Open to two-year-old freshman fillies, it is set at a distance of one mile and offers a purse of $300,000.
The Delta Princess is sponsored by Boyd Gaming therefore its official name is the Boyd Gaming’s Delta Princes Stakes. It runs on the same day as the Grade III Delta Jackpot Stakes for two-year-old males and is still ungraded, but Delta Downs has hopes of the Delta Princess being soon graded.
The race is named for the fine A.P. Indy racing mare, Delta Princess, who has only just completed her career.
