About

Imperialist is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Chris Waller at Rosehill. He is by Churchill out of Dancing Hare. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $613,850, Imperialist is regarded as a horse of above‑average ability. On 17 May 2025 at Doomben, ridden by Tommy Berry, he claimed his most important win to date in the $250,000 3yo Open Set Weight, defeating Deep Focus. He has consistently been a profitable runner for bettors; backing Imperialist throughout his career would have produced a 264% return on investment.
