October 20, 2009 ROYAL CARD ran a game and willing race to run 5th in the Calder Oaks on Saturday, October 17th.  She was beaten just four lengths (chart).
October 8, 2009 ROYAL CARD was very unlucky not to win her last race as she was in front everywhere bar the line.  She ran a 97 Beyer in doing so which was a career best. Royal Card is now being aimed at the Calder Oaks.
September 28, 2009 ROYAL CARD just got nosed out for the win in the Judy's Red Shoes S. at Calder on Saturday, September 26th.  In running second, this was a very successful first effort at a distance greater than seven furlongs.    (chart)
September 20, 2009 ROYAL CARD is doing well and Marty wants to give her a try on the turf.  He is currently considering a stake race going a mile and a sixteenth on Calder's turf course on Saturday the 26th.
September 8, 2009 ROYAL CARD is being pointed for the Endine Stakes G3 at Delaware Park on the 12th of September.
August 19, 2009 ROYAL CARD ran a great race in the Charles Town Oaks on Saturday and was very unlucky not to get up.  This filly keeps on improving and it shouldn’t be long before she wins a stake.
August 15, 2009 ROYAL CARD was just narrowly defeated by the post time favorite in the $250,000 Charlestown Oaks.   (chart)
July 24, 2009 ROYAL CARD has really turned her form around and has now run three consecutive 90 plus Beyers.  It was great to get Graded Stakes placed in the G3 Azalea and we will now look to get a stakes win in her.
July 11, 2009 ROYAL CARD ran a game third in the G3 Azalea S. at Calder's Summit of Speed.  (chart)
June 26, 2009 ROYAL CARD won the ninth race at Calder on Friday, June 26.  This was her third win in seven career starts.  She now has $61,626 in career earnings. (chart)
June 23, 2009 ROYAL CARD runs this Friday at Calder going 6 ½ furlongs on the main track.  Hopefully she can replicate her last run.
June 8, 2009 ROYAL CARD won impressively on Friday winning her allowance by 4 ½ lengths from a very competitive field.  In doing so she earned a 94 Beyer and we will look to run her back in the next couple of weeks.
May 31, 2009 ROYAL CARD won the 8th race Friday, June 5th at Calder.  (chart)
May 20, 2009 ROYAL CARD breezed very well on Sunday.  Marty says she has being carrying a bit of heat in one of her Knees but doesn’t think it is a serious problem and she is sitting on a run when the next available race comes up at Calder.
April 24, 2009 ROYAL CARD was extremely disappointing at Keeneland last Saturday with no real obvious excuse for the bad run. We have decided to move her to Marty Wolfson who is based at Calder as Royal Card is a Florida bred.
April 20, 2009 ROYAL CARD ran up the track on Saturday, April 18th in the 5th race at Keeneland.  (chart).
March 23, 2009 ROYAL CARD finished fourth in her first race back in 8 months.  Unfortunately there was monsoon like conditions at Gulfstream on Saturday so the track was extremely sloppy. Royal Card broke slowly and ran up heels on the turn and just got a little tired at the end.  We believe that she will come on dramatically from this run.
March 18, 2009 ROYAL CARD is entered in the 5th race at Gulfstream Park on March 21st.  This is a NW1X for three-year-old Florida breds going 5 1/2 furlongs on the main track.  (PPs)
March 9, 2009 ROYAL CARD is breezing very well and is very close to making her comeback.  Hopefully there will be a race that will suit her in the next couple of weeks.
February 5, 2009 ROYAL CARD breezed very nicely last weekend at Gulfstream and she should be ready to run very soon.
February 5, 2009 ROYAL CARD worked very well last week and we are looking at a NW1 allowance at Gulfstream for her in about two weeks.
January 26, 2009 ROYAL CARD has being training forwardly and is now at Palm Meadows with Todd Pletcher.  We will look for a NW1X allowance for her probably going 6 – 6 1/2 furlongs on the dirt.
December 2, 2008 ROYAL CARD is back galloping and is doing very nicely.  She should be back breezing by the end of the month.
November 19, 2008 ROYAL CARD is at the Vinery training center in Ocala where she is jogging two miles daily and is going on their new water walker in the afternoons.
October 30, 2008 ROYAL CARD has resumed full training and she will need another 45 days before we start to breeze her back.
October 25, 2008 ROYAL CARD has overcome her surgery well and is looking very well, she will go back into easy training next week.
September 24, 2008 ROYAL CARD is starting back into light training after her surgery.  We will take our time with her as knee surgeries take longer to come back from.
August 27, 2008 ROYAL CARD has had a small chip removed from her knee and will go back into training in about 80 days.  This was obviously bothering her in her last couple of races.
August 11, 2008 ROYAL CARD came out of the Colleen in good shape but needs a little time to get over the race.  We will give her 30 days off and bring her back for a fall campaign.
August 2, 2008 ROYAL CARD finished 8th the Colleen S. at Monmouth Park on Saturday, August 2.  (chart
July 28, 2008 ROYAL CARD worked 5/8ths on Saturday and is pointing for the Colleen Stakes at Monmouth Park on August 2nd.
July 16, 2008 ROYAL CARD is scheduled to breeze tomorrow morning and if she goes well she will run in the Schyullerville-G3 opening day at Saratoga.
July 1, 2008 ROYAL CARD ran disappointingly yesterday in the My Dear Stakes where she was sent off the 3/5 favorite. There are no obvious excuses but maybe coming from the dirt track back to the Polytrack didn't suit her.  Harlem Rocker ran a very similar race when he was sent up to Woodbine from training on the dirt. The filly we beat fairly easily at Keeneland was second in the race so the form of her race at Keeneland is solid.
June 27, 2008 ROYAL CARD finished 6th The My Dear Stakes at Woodbine on Monday, June 30th. (chart)
June 4, 2008 ROYAL CARD is breezing steadily up at Saratoga in preparation for The My Dear Stakes at Woodbine.
May 29, 2008 ROYAL CARD worked a nice half mile the other day at Saratoga and is being aimed at the My Dear Stakes at Woodbine on 6/30.
May 11, 2008 ROYAL CARD is at Saratoga currently and will be aimed at the Astoria Stakes the end of June.
April 28, 2008 ROYAL CARD shipped to Saratoga last Friday and will be aimed at the Astoria Stakes at Belmont.
April 19, 2008 ROYAL CARD wins at first asking in Maiden Special company at Keeneland.  The daughter of CHAPEL ROYAL wins on Ashford's day at the races in the race named for her sire.  (Read chart / Read TDN story)
April 7, 2008 ROYAL CARD worked a half mile from the gate last Friday in 48 and change and will run in a maiden on either the 19th or 25th  at Keeneland.
March 21, 2008 ROYAL CARD worked three eighth’s in 38.0 last week and Todd seems to be happy with her, she may start at Keeneland if she progress’s well the next couple of week’s.
