Updates
June 29
Royally Blue breezed on Monday working 4 furlongs on the dirt in 49.70 at Gulfstream Park. That work was 9 of 14 at the distance.
We spoke with trainer Steve Klesaris after the breeze. Steve said, "She breezed well. Doing very well. She should be ready to go in a couple of weeks."
Steve will breeze Royally Blue on a 7-day breeze schedule preparing her for her next race.

Royally Blue ran a respectable 3rd in Sunday's race at Gulfstream Park. Royally Blue was void of early foot, saved ground into the lane to improve inside of several rivals, continued mildly to the wire to finish up best of the rest.
We spoke with jockey Rajiv Maragh after the race and Rajiv said, "She didn't feel quite right on the track. Her left front might have been bothering her today. We should take a look at that."
We spoke with trainer Steve Klesaris after the race and Steve said, "Rajiv asked me to go over her ankle. I'm going to check that. Otherwise she came out of the race in good order."
We spoke with Hibiscus Stables CEO Mike Oliveto after the race and Mike said, "I can be fairly critical of jockeys so today I'm going to criticize Rajiv allowing her to drift too far off the front. She can't spot that much ground and make it all up in a 5 1/2 furlong race. Rajiv said her ankle might be pinching her so, if that's the reason, then this isn't on the rider. Overall 3rd place money is good. We'll come back and try it again next time."
Royally Blue earned $7,700 for Sunday's race at Gulfstream Park.
Steve will see how Royally Blue comes out of the race and point her accordingly.
