Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 7, 2020 Journalists Posted June 7, 2020 ‘TDN Rising Star’ IMPROBABLE (c, 4, City Zip–Rare Event, by A.P. Indy) gave the Bob Baffert barn a touch of a consolation prize following Authentic’s defeat in the GI Santa Anita Derby, winning the GI Hollywood Gold Cup in a common gallop as the 6-5 favorite. Up to stalk a steady pace from second, the $200,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase traveled well within himself before being sent into the lead at the three-eighths pole. While he was traveling supremely well, he had his five rivals off the bridle behind him and he strode out beautifully to score by about 4 1/2 lengths. Higher Power (Medaglia d’Oro) ran on to be a non-threatening second, with Midwest shipper Tenfold (Curlin) further back in third. The win was the seventh in the 10-furlong affair for trainer Bob Baffert, who won the race the final three years it was held at Hollywood Park from 2012-2014. Lifetime Record: 12-5-3-0. O-WinStar, China Horse Club & SF Racing; B-St George Farm LLC & G Watts Humphrey Jr (KY); T-Bob Baffert.
