Michael Wrona might not get to wear his tutu after all

Even though he surprisingly hasn't shown up in the workout reports on BRIS Handicapper's Edge - Imaginary Sailor turned in his second work yesterday in No. Cal.

Sierra Sunset, who is in the Rebel Stakes, got loose in a 4 furlong baby race and Imaginary Sailor blew him away in the stretch and won by 4 lengths.

2nd time out, Imaginary Sailor returned to win the Lost in the Fog stakes by five lengths, going 5 furlongs, after trouble leaving the gate. Track announcer Michael Wrona declared "if this isn't a Graded Stakes winner, I'm a ballerina!" as Imaginary Sailor ran up his margin in the stretch.

Even though he's yet to run beyond five furlongs - he's by Mizzen Mast (who ran a 117 Beyer at 9 furlongs on dirt) - his dam has already dropped a Graded Stakes winning dirt router in Cause To Believe. His 2nd dam is Grade 1 winner Cuddles. And he's very closely related to Swain, Gorgeous, Seaside Attraction, and Northern Afleet through his up-close tail female family.

Imaginary Sailor was bred by Overbrook Farm and is trained by Jerry Hollendorfer - who already has a Big Cap win with Heatseeker this year - and has Hystericalady as well.

Inspite of Wrona's best efforts, I just really get the feeling that a horse like this would have an annoying amount of unearned hype - if he was located just about anywhere else besides Northern California.

I have no idea what kind of injury he is coming back from - or how he will come back.
