Whimsical (foaled 1903 at Raceland Stud in Kentucky) was an American thoroughbred racehorse. She is best known as the second filly to ever win the Preakness Stakes.
She was sired by the Orlando, out of the mare, Kismet, who was sired by United States Racing Hall of Fame stallion, Hindoo.[2]
As a two-year-old Whimsical finished second when racing against colts in the Champagne Stakes. In the Preakness Stakes she led from the start and won easily[3] in a time of 1:45 by 4 lengths over Content and Larabie. In this period, the race was held at Gravesend Race Track on Coney Island, New York.
Whimsical was later sold to a Mr. Looram and retired to Brookdale Farm to become a broodmare.[4]
The Whimsical Stakes at Pimlico Race Course is a 6 furlong race named for her and is raced on Preakness weekend.
