DEL MAR, Calif. – Grade 1 winner Improbable worked an easy five furlongs Sunday morning at Del Mar, as trainer Bob Baffert considers summer options for the 4-year-old who scored a resounding victory last month in the Hollywood Gold Cup at Santa Anita.
Improbable worked a slow 1:03.80 in his first Del Mar work since arriving from Santa Anita.
“We’re keeping him fresh, we don’t want to do too much,” Baffert said. “We want him ready for the Breeders’ Cup.”
Improbable will skip the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap this weekend, but he will run this summer at either Saratoga or Del Mar.
“We’re thinking Whitney or Pacific Classic,” Baffert said.
The Grade 1 Whitney is Aug. 1 at Saratoga; the Pacific Classic is Aug. 22 at Del Mar.
