New Zealand's Horse of the Year Probabeel (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus}) could appear at Royal Ascot this year for the G1 Queen Anne S. The four-time Group 1-winning mare, who is owned by Brendan and Jo Lindsay of Cambridge Stud, will trial next week and will target the same trio of races she did last Australian autumn-the G3 Bellmaine S., G1 Futurity S. and the All-Star Mile-before a potential intercontinental trip.

Cambridge Stud Chief Executive Henry Plumptre told SEN Trackside, “We have been talking to Nick Smith at Ascot and we have an invitation to go and run in the Queen Anne S. on the opening day of Royal Ascot, as opposed to going up to Sydney for the Queen Of The Turf, which is what she did last year [when second].”
