Royal Delta, last year's champion three-year-old filly, breezed five furlongs in 1:02 2/5 Sunday morning over Saratoga's fast Oklahoma training track in preparation for her next start, the Grade 1, $600,000 Personal Ensign on August 26.

Exercise rider Rodolphe Brisset was aboard for the move, Royal Delta's first since her neck victory over Tiz Miz Sue in the Grade 2 Delaware Handicap on July 21.

"She was a little anxious, a little buzzed going in with it being the first work, but I was happy with it," Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott said. "She's training good, she's eating good, she's moving good...it's all good."

Last year at Saratoga, Royal Delta won the Grade 1 Alabama and finished third in the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks.

Fellow champion My Miss Aurelia, honored with an Eclipse Award as the 2011 top juvenile filly, will try to pick up where she left off when she makes her long-awaited return to the races Wednesday as a supplemental entrant in the $100,000 Mandy's Gold overnight stakes.

"Absolutely hoping for a similar outcome," trainer Steve Asmussen said of his undefeated charge, who broke her maiden and won the Grade 2 Adirondack at the Spa, followed by victories in the Grade 1 Frizette at Belmont Park and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. "I definitely think she is a worthy two-year-old champion, and I'm anxious to have her back to the races."

Julien Leparoux will ride the Smart Strike daughter in the Mandy's Gold, which attracted a field of seven, including Srumdiddlyumptious, 4-0-0 from her past five starts including back-to-back stakes scores at Monmouth and Penn National, as well as Ullapool, a solid second to the promising Book Review in an allowance July 20 at the Spa.

Trainer Todd Pletcher helped spice up the Saratoga worktab Sunday when sending out a pair of graded winners to continue their preparations for upcoming stakes. Stay Thirsty and In Lingerie each worked four furlongs on the fast main track for their multiple Eclipse Award-winning conditioner.

"Both worked well and are on schedule for their respective races," Pletcher said.

In Lingerie has yet to finish worse than second in her career, most recently running third in the CCA Oaks. The bay daughter of Empire Maker is expected to make her next start in the Grade 1, $600,000 Alabama sending three-year-old fillies 1 1/4 miles on August 18 at the Spa.

Stay Thirsty is being pointed to the Grade 1, $750,000 Woodward at nine furlongs on September 1. The Bernardini four-year-old is winless in two starts this year, finishing off the board in the Grade 2 Suburban Handicap on July 7 following a belated seasonal bow in the Vanlandingham Stakes, where the dark bay ran second.

Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey sent Data Link out for a sizzling :46 1/5 half-mile drill on the firm Oklahoma turf training track at Saratoga on Sunday. The The War Front four-year-old's next graded foray will come in Saturday's Grade 2, $500,000 Fourstardave Handicap going a mile on the Spa turf.

Data Link earned his first stakes win in April when he captured Keeneland's Grade 1 Maker's 46 Mile, then was fifth 22 days later in the Grade 1 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic. He took advantage of a fast pace in his most recent start, the Grade 2 Monmouth Stakes on June 10, to prevail by one length over fellow Fourstardave contender Get Stormy.

"(The Fourstardave is) going to be a solid race, but he's a solid horse," McGaughey said of Data Link. "It will be the kind of race where whoever gets the best trip will probably win. They'll be cooking in this race, too, with Wise Dan, Get Stormy, and some others."
