A $125,000 Inglis Premier purchase from Ultra Thoroughbred Racing for Lindsay Park, I Never Dreamed is a half-sister to good metro winner Savoury and is the third winner from Group II placed Encosta de Lago mare Impulsive Dream, a half-sister to stakes-winner Hillfa, the grand-dam of current stakes-winners Zoukerette and Zoukerino with another current stakes-winner Shuffle Dancer also in the immediate family.

I Never Dreamed will be a valuable broodmare for the future if her career progresses as her grand-dam Fayfa is a half-sister to Group I winning blue hen Rafha, the dam of Group I winning champion sire Invincible Spirit with the family also producing the likes of Pride of Dubai and Pinatubo.
