IMPULSUS, shut off just after the break, steadied off rivals dropping into last on the backstretch, switched out nearing upper stretch to gain position three deep between foes, angled inwards leaving the furlong marker to split rivals just off the inside nearing the wire and surged between foes in the final strides to gain the advantage in time under firm handling. FABULOUS PHILLY tracked off the first flight racing four wide, then five wide to upper stretch, made steady progress racing past midstretch to gain the advantage between calls late but just failed to contain the winner on the wire. HEY MA, urged between foes pressing the pace in the opening quarter, dueled between rivals while being carried to the three path racing through the stretch disputing the issue to late stages but was just outkicked by the top pair.
