Dynamic Impact, second, beaten a neck in his two-turn debut at Keeneland Oct. 20, closed out his juvenile campaign with a sixth-place finish at Churchill Downs Nov. 16. He resurfaced with a well-beaten second-place finish going a mile at Oaklawn
Jan. 30, then broke through with a narrow maiden tally over recent Northern Spur S. runner-up Knock Em Flat (Flatter) in Arkansas last time Mar. 1. The bay fired a best-of-38 five-furlong warning shot in :59 2/5 at Keeneland Apr. 12 for this. Dynamic Impact shadowed heavily favored Midnight Hawk, who bobbled at the break. Second while riding the rails through fractions of :24.11 and :48.06, Midnight Hawk started to get away on the far turn and looked well on his way to victory. Guided to the outisde for the stretch run, Dynamic Impact never said die, and was able to grind out a narrow victory in a dramatic bobber.
