Am Impazible may have earned shot at Ladies Handicap

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Am Impazible, a 5-year-old New York-bred mare who has won four consecutive races, could make her stakes debut in the $100,000 Ladies Handicap here on Jan. 10, trainer Kelly Breen said.

Am Impazible came off a 10-month layoff on Dec. 18 to win an open-company first-level allowance race going a one-turn mile.

“It was a big performance,” Breen said. “I didn’t honestly think she was up to it, but she has a lot of heart. She came out of the race in good order. That’s why we’re thinking of trying a stakes.”

On Thursday, Breen worked a pair of recent winners in Full Impact and Malibu Star. Full Impact, who is 2 for 2, went five furlongs in 1:02 while Malibu Star went the same distance in 1:01.60. Both worked by themselves.

Breen said he has no specific plans for either 4-year-old colt.

Breen said that Firenze Fire, who was second in the Mr. Prospector Stakes at Gulfstream on Dec. 12, has remained in Florida while he and owner Ron Lombardi decide where to run the horse next. He is Florida-bred, so he would be eligible for the Sunshine Millions Sprint on Jan. 16.
