The Kiwi has been in outstanding form this preparation, resuming with a flashing light run to finish second in the Show County Quality, before back-to-back wins in the Bill Ritchie Handicap, and last Saturday’s Epsom Handicap.
Our very special Waikato-bred, sold and sired Probabeel is a queen! ? A bad barrier doesn’t slow her down, as she takes out the time honoured G1 Epsom.

The bookies have been quick to react to the announcement, with Probabeel’s price slashed in the all-in Cox Plate market, to $17 on the fourth line of betting. Russian Camelot remains the $3.20 favourite.
