Imanative's name proclaimed her to be a daughter of the great Native Dancer, but she proved to have virtually none of her sire's talent, winning only one small race in 18 starts. In the breeding shed, she was a different animal. The dam of five stakes winners, she stands at the head of an American branch of the great Agnes family that includes 1990 American champion 2-year-old filly Meadow Star and 2016 American champion 3-year-old male (USA-G1) winner Arrogate.

Connections
Foaled in Florida, Imanative was bred and owned by Harbor View Farm, which bred her first foal. She then passed to the ownership of William Floyd, who bred four of her five stakes winners. She produced her last two foals as the property of Fairway Farm in Kentucky before being reported as barren in 1987–1989.
Pedigree notes
Imanative is outcrossed through five generations. She is a half sister to Halstell (by Francis S.), dam of multiple stakes winner Lady With a Lick (by Pacific Native) and second dam of Prances Prim, the 1993 Broodmare of the Year in the Dominican Republic and dam of that country's 1993 Horse of the Year, Roger Michel, and 1996 champion 3-year-old filly, Primavera (both by Missile Man). Imanative is also a half sister to Raise a Flower (by Native Dancer's champion son Raise a Native), dam of French stakes winner Filoucyos (by Sicyos).
Imanative and her sisters are out of Flolou, a winning full sister to 1960 Pimlico Futurity winner Garwol and a half sister to multiple stakes winner Francine M. (by Sir Gaylord) and to Concubita (by Citation), dam of stakes winner Rorque (by Luminary II). Floulou is also a half sister to Miss Morningside (by Swaps), dam of stakes winner Bold Sunrise (by Bold Reason).
Flolou, in turn, is out of Fleece (by Revoked), a half sister to 1958 Display Handicap winner Civet (by Mr. Trouble) and to Evening Dress (by Gun Shot), second dam of 1979 Mexican champion 3-year-old male Devastatrice. Fleece and her siblings were produced from stakes-placed Pelt (War Admiral—Pelisse, by Pharamond II), a half sister to 1947 Grassland Handicap winner Pellicle (by Sir Damion) and 1959 Jersey Stakes winner Welsh Guard (by Royal Charger).
