Royalty Interest (FR)

Royalty Interest opened her career with a 3 ¼-length victory March 11, 2023, at Tampa Bay Downs. The Le Havre filly next made her stakes debut in the $150,000 Penn Oaks and faded to finish last of five as the odds-on favorite.

Royalty Interest was given an extended break following her first defeat and returned eight months later to make her 4-year-old debut in an allowance race Feb. 1, 2024, at Tampa Bay Downs. She closed from off the pace to finish second by a head as the favorite. She regained her winning form one start later with a one-length win March 16 at Tampa in a 1 1/16-mile turf race.

Sent next to the Grade 3 Sheepshead Bay Stakes and stretching out to 1 3/8 miles at the Belmont at the Big A meet, Royalty Interest delivered a breakout performance when leading from start to finish to prevail by a head in a thrilling finish.

Stakes winner Dusky Queen, by Shamardal, is the dam (mother) of Royalty Interest.
