Wait A While (foaled March 4, 2003) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. Although she showed some good form on dirt she had her greatest success on turf and won twelve of her twenty-four races in a track career which lasted from August 2005 until October 2008. As a two-year-old she won two of her four races including the Miss Grillo Stakes. In the following year she won the Davona Dale Stakes, Sands Point Stakes, American Oaks, Lake Placid Stakes and Yellow Ribbon Stakes in a campaign which saw her being voted that season's American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly. Her third season was disrupted by illness and injury but she did win the Honey Fox Stakes and the Ballston Spa Handicap. In her final season Wait A While won the San Gorgonio Handicap and recorded repeat victories in the Ballston Spa Handicap and the Yellow Ribbon Stakes. Her racing career ended controversially when she was disqualified for failing a drug test after finishing third in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.
Wait A While is a gray mare bred in Kentucky by W. S. Farish & W. Temple Webber Jr. She was sired by the 1995 American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt Maria's Mon, whose other progeny included the Kentucky Derby winners Monarchos and Super Saver. Wait A While was the first of four recorded foals produced by her dam Flirtatious, who won four minor races from twelve stats. Flirtatious's dam Grand Charmer was a half-sister of the dam of the Preakness Stakes winner Lookin At Lucky, and a more distant relative of the Irish Derby winner Sir Harry Lewis.
