IMPROBABLE (c, 2, City Zip–Rare Event, by A.P. Indy) justified his 4-5 odds and the hype that has been surrounding him since before his debut with a dominant victory in the Street Sense S. at Churchill Downs, earning the ‘TDN Rising Star’ nod in the process. A neck winner as the heavy favorite in his six-panel debut at Santa Anita Sept. 29, the $200,000 KEESEP buy got off to a slow beginning and was quite eager in mid-pack, rushing up on heels through sharp early splits of :22.27 and :44.96. Finally able to be tipped out on the backstretch, the flashy chestnut ran much more comfortably in a two-wide fourth and glided up to take command from Trophy Chaser (Twirling Candy) at the top of the lane. It was all over from there as Improbable effortlessly sailed clear under Drayden Van Dyke to win for fun by eight lengths in 1:35.61. Trophy Chaser held second.
