Impact Player (#1)
Was very game in his debut, dueling through honest fractions before getting run down late.
Is by good turf sire City Zip and out of a dam that has produced two turf winners.
His eye-catching breeze over the synthetic track at Ocala in the spring suggests that turf may be the right surface.
