Take Charge Lady (foaled 4 February 1999) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was one of the leading fillies of her generation in the United States, winning 11 of her 22 races between April 2001 and November 2003, earning over $2 million. She recorded Grade I victories in the Ashland Stakes and consecutive editions of the Spinster Stakes, and also won the Alcibiades Stakes, Silverbulletday Stakes, Fair Grounds Oaks, Dogwood Stakes and Arlington Matron Stakes.
After her retirement from racing she became a successful broodmare, producing the Grade I winners Take Charge Indy, winner of the 2012 Florida Derby and Will Take Charge, 2013 Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse. In addition, her first foal Charming is the dam of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Take Charge Brandi.
Take Charge Lady is a bay mare with a white star bred in Kentucky by William Schettine, the owner of the Florida-based Signature Stallions stud. During her racing career she was described a being "lean" and "lanky" in appearance. She was sired by Dehere, the American Champion two-year-old colt of 1993 whose other progeny included Defier (George Main Stakes) and Graeme Hall (Jim Dandy Stakes). Take Charge Lady's dam Felicita, was an unraced daughter of the American Champion Sprint Horse Rubiano.
