About

Imperialist is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Chris Waller at Flemington. He is by Churchill out of Dancing Hare. As a stakes winner with $610,350 in career earnings, he is considered above‑average. On 17 May 2025 at Doomben, Tommy Berry rode Imperialist to his biggest triumph, claiming the $250,000 Open Set Weight and beating Deep Focus. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 284% return on investment.
