She was a star from day one 🌟
We’re incredibly proud to have foaled, reared and sold 10-time G1 winner Imperatriz. Huge congratulations to her breeders @RafflesRacing and team @TeAkauRacing on her amazing career.
Happy retirement, Berri 💜
Little did we know that this filly would establish herself as one of the world's finest sprinters. Imperatriz! 10 Group Ones and 19 wins from just 27 starts. Bred by @RafflesRacing and sold through the @BhimaTBreds to @TeAkauRacing's DC Ellis.
Thanks for the #MagicalMemories!
It is truly mixed emotions that Te Akau Racing announces the retirement of our star mare and champion, Imperatriz.
Currently Imperatriz is rated as the No.1 sprinter in the world and No.2 overall on TRC Global Rankings.
In 2023, Imperatriz won more Group 1 races (6) than any other horse in the world!
Her 2023/24 season has also been nothing short of stellar … with five Group 1 victories in Australia, taking her career tally to ten elite titles. She also recorded a Group 2 win in Australia where she set a new track record, and at her next start broke the very record she had just set.
Imperatriz also became the first horse to ever win the MVRC Group 1 Sprint Triple Crown - effectively twice - in both a calendar year (2023) and a racing season (2023/24).
