Deloraine Scores in Belle Mahone Stakes (G3)

TORONTO, May 30, 2026– Godolphin LLC-bred and owned Deloraine fired late to collar pacesetting favourite Stylish Sue and score in Saturday’s $150,000 Grade-3 Belle Mahone Stakes at Woodbine.

Trained by Eoin Harty and ridden for the first time by Ryan Munger, Deloraine settled in 5^th, while saving ground into the first turn. Confirmed front runner Stylish Sue, won the early pace battle and led the field of seven through an opening quarter-mile in :23.53. ​ ​

Along the backstretch, Deloraine continued to save ground, while taking over 4^th position from Power of Destiny (GB) in a half-mile time of :48.18. ​ ​

Up front, Stylish Sue controlled the pace with Hurricane Clair and 2025 Woodbine Oaks winner No Time in hot pursuit, the leader cutting out the opening six panels in this 1 1/16 event for fillies and mares 4-years-old and up, in 1:12.67. ​ ​

Turning for home, 2023 Woodbine Oaks winner Elysian Field, making her 2026 debut, rallied widest, as Munger and Deloraine cut the corner smartly, cruising past No Time to get first run on Stylish Sue, who led well into the lane. ​ ​ ​

Rafael Hernandez, aboard Stylish Sue snuck a peak at the danger as Munger and the 4-year-old daughter of Candy Ride (ARG) – Elaine’s Cat by Discreet Cat, rallied with rhythm past the 1/8^th pole. Inside the 70-yard marker, Deloraine had the measure of the runner up, crossing the wire on top in 1:44.47. ​ ​

“Going around I had a ton of horse. I saw Raffy getting away but I knew if I get out, I’m going to catch him,” said Munger.

“From the half mile I can tell if I got out, she was going to win. Once the split opened, she took it like a brave soldier. ​ And she won a very gallant, gutsy win today.”

Now a 3-time winner from 11 lifetime starts, Munger was excited about riding for the prestigious Godolphin outfit and equally happy with the victory. ​ ​

“When you put on these silks, it’s like you’re putting on history. ​ They look even better in the winner’s box.”

Deloraine, going second off the layoff, prepared for the Belle Mahone, showing speed and faltering to finish 9^th in a turf allowance race at Keeneland. ​ ​

Emma Lovatt, representing Godolphin Ownership Group, was thrilled to witness Deloraine earn her first graded stakes victory and her second win on synthetic in as many tries. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

“Very important. ​ She’s obviously had a few attempts at it, finally getting the win, bringing her back on the all-weather, bringing her up to Woodbine was a perfect combination for her.” ​

Stylish Sue and late running Equitas, who rallied from last, completed the triactor. ​

Deloraine, listed at 10-1 on the morning, went off at 9-1 and paid an even $20.00. Her lucrative win kicked off Woodbine Stake Pick 3, linking the Grade 3- Belle Mahone, the Grade 2-bet365 Eclipse Stakes and wrapping with the Grade 3-Jacques Cartier Stakes, featuring a $5 minimum and 15% takeout.
