Impel secures her first stakes win in the Listed Groupie Doll Stakes

Impel, tagged as the first 'TDN Rising Star' of 2024, proved best in the Listed Groupie Doll Stakes on Sunday (10th August) at Ellis Park for her first blacktype success.

Taken from the Thoroughbred Daily News, 11th August 2025:

The filly's three-year-old campaign included a third in the Gr.1 Central Bank Ashland Stakes, a second in the Gr.2 Eight Belles Stakes, and a third place finish in the Gr.3 Indiana Oaks. She came into the race off a win at Churchill Downs where she defeated allowance company at eight furlongs on 22nd June. Veering out a bit from her outside post, the filly reattached herself with the rest of the field, sitting a wide third up the backstretch. Making steady progress around the far turn, Impel lead the field in tandem with Taxed into the top of the stretch. While Regaled and Alpine Princess made their respective, Impel continued to fight on from the inside, just getting her nose down in time as the 5-1 fourth choice.
