Imaginationthelady

Imaginationthelady won her debut at Kentucky Downs Sept. 4, 2025, in impressive fashion, breaking from the 11^th of 12 post position and dueling for the lead before pulling clear in the one-mile turf race to win by 1 ½ lengths.

The Not This Time filly then was elevated to test stakes company by owner Mark Dobbin and trainer Brendan Walsh, and she made her next start in the $400,000, Grade 2 Jessamine Stakes Presented by Keeneland Sales Oct. 3 at Keeneland, a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Breaking again from an outside post (nine of 11), the filly settled into a stalking position under Frankie Dettori before tipping out into the homestretch and rallying to the lead. She was all out in the final strides to win by a length and punch her ticket to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Oct. 31 at Del Mar.

In the Juvenile Fillies Turf, Imaginationthelady ran a good fourth, defeated by only 2 ¼ lengths. She returned for a 3-year-old campaign not missing a step, finishing second by a neck in blanket four-horse photo finish April 4, 2026, at Keeneland in the Appalachian Stakes Presented by Japan Racing Association. Then, Imaginationthelady finished full of run to win the Grade 2 Edgewood Stakes Presented by Accenture May 1 at Churchill Downs by a head over Tam Tam in another thrilling finish. She improved to 3-for-5 in her career with earnings of $830,270.

Imaginationthelady was bred in Kentucky and is out of the unraced War Front mare Romanticism. The filly’s second dam is $2 million earner and seven-time Grade 1 winner Sightseek.
