Lady Iman

The headline moment came at Goodwood on 30 July 2025, when she won a Class 1 race — one of the top races in Britain. For context, Class 1 races are the pinnacle of the sport, the kind of events that define a career. She has run in three of them and won one, a record of 1 from 3 that speaks to real quality rather than easy pickings. Her career started modestly enough at Dundalk in March 2025, and the journey from a first win on an Irish all-weather track to a Goodwood Class 1 victory in the space of four months is a sharp upward curve by any measure.

Her recent form reads 10-9-14-1-2-1 from last to most recent, which tells an interesting story. The two wins and a second from her last three runs suggest a horse peaking at exactly the right time — but the three poor performances before that are a reminder she is not infallible. Horses at this level can take time to find their groove, and right now she appears to have found it.

Colin Keane has been the man in the saddle for most of her career, and the numbers back up the partnership: three wins from five races together, a win rate of 60%, or roughly 3 in every 5 races they have run as a team. That is a strikingly high figure and suggests a genuine understanding between horse and rider. She is trained by G M Lyons at Dunsany, Co Meath — a yard that has sent out 49 winners this season alone, so she is operating out of one of the busiest and most productive operations in Ireland.

She raced just one day ago and remains active, which means her story is very much still being written. A three-year-old with a Class 1 win already on her record, a high-performing jockey in the saddle, and a trainer firing on all cylinders — there is every reason to think the best is still to come.
