Regal Glory

Regal Glory won her career debut by 5 ½ lengths in October 2018 at Belmont Park. She subsequently won the Stewart Manor Stakes on Nov. 11 by a nose in her final start as a 2-year-old.

The chestnut Animal Kingdom filly made her 3-year-old bow in the Grade 3 Sweetest Chant Stakes at Gulfstream Park in February 2019 and ran second in her graded stakes debut. She was the runner-up again in the Grade 2 Appalachian Stakes Presented by Japan Racing Association at Keeneland in April.

Regal Glory rallied to win the $200,000 Penn Oaks by 2 ¾ lengths on June 1 for her first win as a 3-year-old. She subsequently earned a breakthrough graded stajkes win when she overhauled stablemate Blowout in the stretch en route to a win in the Grade 3 Lake George Stakes at Saratoga in July. Regal Glory extended her winning streak to three with a dead-heat victory with Varenka in the Grade 2 Lake Placid Stakes Aug. 17 at Saratoga. She closed her 3-year-old campaign with an unplaced finish in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes at Keeneland. 

Regal Glory returned from a layoff of more than 7 1/2 months with a second-place finish on yielding turf in the Grade 3 Intercontinental Stakes at Belmont Park in her 4-year-old bow. She subsequently ran fourth three weeks later in the Grade 1 Just a Game Stakes June 27  at Belmont. She regained her winning form Sept. 12 at Kentucky Downs when she outfinished Mitchell Road to win the Grade 3 Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf Stakes.

Regal Glory began her 2021 season with a half-length win in the Plenty of Grace Stakes at Aqueduct on Apr. 11. A few months later, she stormed from behind to win the Fasig-Tipton De La Rose Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 8. After running second to stablemate Blowout in the Grade 1 First Lady Stakes, Regal Glory secured her first Grade 1 win Nov. 28 at Del Mar with a 2 1/2-length victory in the Matriarch Stakes.

Grade 2 winner Mary’s Follies, by More Than Ready, is the dam (mother) of Regal Glory.
