Jumping the Gun tries two turns in White Clay Creek Stakes this Saturday

Wilmington, Del., October 7, 2025 — Imaginary Stable’s will be looking to sweep the Delaware Park 2-year-old filly stake series when she faces nine rivals in the one mile $100,000 White Clay Creek Stakes this Wednesday.

The daughter of Gun Runner has won all three of her career outings including a pair of stakes all at Delaware Park.  On August 14, the Kentucky-bred trained by Andrew Simoff notched a 4 1/4-length triumph in the six-furlong $75,000 Blue Hen Stakes.  She followed with a 3 ¾-length score in the Delaware bred or certified restricted six-furlong $100,000 Small Wonder on September 14.  In her only other career outing, she broke her maiden with a 1 1/2-length win in a five-and-a-half-furlong maiden on July 3.

“She has worked great twice since the Small Wonder Stakes,” said trainer Andrew Simoff.  “Everything is good, and I think we are ready for this Saturday.  I am looking forward to seeing how she handles two turns.  You never know until you do it, but all indications are she should like it with the way she has won her previous three races.  The other day, when Julio (Hernandez) worked her, she was so full of energy that when he stood up, she tried to run off which is a good sign she wants more.  Like I said, nothing is certain, but I am excited to see how she handles this next chapter in her development.”
