Probabeel
New Zealand thoroughbred racehorse
Probabeel (foaled 6 November 2016) is a multiple Group 1 winning New Zealand-bred thoroughbred racehorse.
Background
Probabeel was born and bred at Waikato Stud in Matamata, New Zealand. Initially the stud intended to keep her for racing, however she was sold.
Probabeel was purchased by Brendan and Jo Lindsay, who own Cambridge Stud, for NZ$380,000.
Racing career
Probabeel became the first horse in history to complete the Karaka Million 2YO and Karaka Million 3YO double. She was ridden in both wins by Opie Bosson.
After completing this double, she was successful on 29 February 2020 when ridden again by Bosson in the Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) at Randwick Racecourse. She beat Funstar and Xilong.
Probabeel next achieved victory as a 4-year-old in the Bill Ritchie Handicap and the Epsom Handicap, both at Randwick and ridden by Kerrin McEvoy. In the Bill Ritchie (Group 3) she beat Cuba and Brandenburg and in the Epsom Handicap (Group 1) she headed home Funstar and Riodini.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Probabeel”, the useful work is to connect “new Zealand thoroughbred racehorse” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q100791596. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016 and 2020.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
