Broodmare Career: Imagine

Imagine proved herself a top class racemare. She was champion 3yo filly in Ireland in 2001 having taken the Irish 1000 guineas, she later followed that up with a decisive win in the Epsom Oaks.

Her pedigree was also very appealing. She is a daughter of the champion Sadler's Wells out of the top producer Doff The Derby. Imagine wasn't her only Classic winner as she is also the dam of dual Derby winner Generous, he failed to make an impact at stud. Imagine is also a sister to the stakes winning Strawberry Roan. 

The following is the list of progeny produced by Imagine

2003 HORATIO NELSON B.C by Danehill
Horatio Nelson proved to be his dams best runner. He was an outstanding two-year-old winning the Group 1 Prix Jean Luc Lagadere. He lost his unbeaten 2yo run to Derby winner Sir Percy in the Dewhurst by an agonising 1/4 of a length. He was never the same colt and sadly broke down and was later euthanised in the Derby. 

2004 RED ROCK CANYON B.C by Rocj Of Gibraltar 
Red Rock Canyon wasn't as illustrious as his 1/2 brother but he proved to be a very solid Group runner with placings in the Tattersalls Gold Cup & Irish Champion Stakes. 

2005 KITTY MATCHAM B.F by Rock Of Gibraltar 
A full sister to Red Rock Canyon, this filly too proved to be a very solid performer. She was a winner of the Group 2 Rockfel stakes as a 2yo. 

2007 VISCOUNT NELSON B.C by Giants Causeway 
Viscount Nelson proved to be a useful 2yo winning the listed Coolmore Hurricane Run stakes. He was also second to Poets Voice in the Group 2 Champagne stakes. He later became a dual Group 2 winner in Dubai. 

2008 GUESSING B.F by Kingmambo
Guessing proved dissapointing finishing unplaced in two starts. She is now a broodmare. 

2010 POINT PIPER B.C by Giants Causeway
Point Piper won a three year old maiden for Coolmore and subsequently finished second in a handicap at Naas. Subsequently sold to America he recently ran in a claiming race where he was unplaced. 

2011 ADESTE FIDELES B.F by Giants Causeway 
This filly won a maiden at Dundalk last October. 

2012 ASSAGHER B.C by Giants Causeway 
This colt was trained by John Gosdon and won his 2yo maiden last December at Kempton by three lengths. He is owned by HH Prince Faisal Bin Khaled.
