3rd-Horseshoe Indianapolis, $32,000, Msw, 7-15, 2yo, 5f, :59.70, ft, 4 lengths.
MAYBE EYE'LL CALL (c, 2, Improbable–You Caught My Eye, by Can the Man) became the first winner for his sadly departed stallion (by City Zip) with an easy second-out success. Facing considerably easier competition after finishing 10th in his June 20 unveiling at Churchill Downs, the 7-10 chalk was able to avoid a messy start caused by the veering-in Govenor Hank (Govenor Charlie), was nursed along on the front end and proved four lengths best on the wire. You Caught My Eye, a half-sister to City Zip's Canadian Horse of the Year and multiple Grade I winner Catch a Glimpse and to the productive Ontario-based stallion Old Forester (Forestry), was purchased by Nate McCauley's River Oak Farm for $65,000 in foal to Violence at Keeneland November in 2019 and was resold to this breeder for $230,000 pregnant to American Pharoah the following fall. The mare also has a yearling colt by Maxfield and a filly foal by American Pharoah. Sales history: $95,000 RNA Ylg '23 KEESEP; $75,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $20,325.

@SequelAtWO grad MAYBE EYE'LL CALL, a $75k 2yo at April, wins at odds-on for the Steve Asmussen barn at @HSIndyRacing. Bred by @CoteauGrove.
Believe this is the first winner for the late champion Improbable. Hope what he has out there can carry City Zip a bit forward. -… pic.twitter.com/37SoziwcyW
