Bio
Mark Casse-trained Mississippi Delta emerged as a stakes-caliber sprinter-miler on the turf early in her racing career, winning two listed stakes at Woodbine in 2014-2015. At age 4, the daughter of Giant’s Causeway finished second in two Grade 2 stakes during spring 2016 and, after two unplaced efforts, finished third in a Grade 3 at Woodbine during the summer before winning the lucrative Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint in September.

Shipped to Keeneland for their October 2016 meeting, Mississippi Delta finished last in two graded stakes there, but was back in good form when she returned in 2017. The now 5-year-old won an allowance optional claiming race at Gulfstream Park, finished second in the Grade 2 Honey Fox Stakes to Celestine in South Florida, rallied to finish fourth after a poor start in the Grade 2 Distaff Turf Mile at Churchill Downs on the Kentucky Derby undercard, and then broke through with her first graded stakes win in the Grade 3 Intercontinental Stakes at Belmont Park on June 8.
