The 10-1 upset victory in Friday’s Jessamine (G2) Presented by Keeneland Sales by Mark Dobbin’s Imaginationthelady capped a three-win day for trainer Brendan Walsh.

“I had another three-win day a few years ago on the day Prevalence won the Commonwealth (G3) (on April 9, 2022),” said Walsh, whose other wins Saturday came with Turner’s Charm in the third and Raiding Party (IRE) in the 10th.

Ridden by Frankie Dettori, Imaginationthelady hit the front at the eighth pole and went on to win by a length.

“Frankie gave her a good ride and she learned a lot more from this than when she won first out at Kentucky Downs and went right to the front,” Walsh said.

The stakes victory was the first for Dobbin at Keeneland.

“He’s Irish and based in New York,” Walsh said. “He sent me a filly a few years ago named Storm Miami (IRE), who runs Monday at Presque Isle Downs, and then he sent me American Sonja (GB), who runs for the second time for me in the Waya (G3) tomorrow in New York.”

Imaginationthelady was a $300,000 Keeneland Yearling September Sale purchase last year.

“John McCormick bought her and we got her in the spring,” Walsh said. “She looks like a pretty good filly.”

That “pretty good filly” punched her ticket to the Breeders’ Cup World Championships Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at Del Mar. Victory in the Jessamine Presented by Keeneland Sales earned her a fees-paid berth into the John Deere Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1).

Walsh said that if all goes well the next three weeks, Imaginationthelady would head to Southern California on Oct. 27.
