Impressive Edge is related to both the sire of Arrogate and the sire of California Chrome. Unbridled's Song and Lucky Pulpit were out of 3/4 sisters (Trolley Song and Lucky Soph). The granddam was Lucky Spell.
Lucky Spell is Impressive Edge's 4th dam. He is also one of 3 colts sired by the late Harlan's Holiday in the race.
Impressive Edge had a weird trip in the Swale, settling in last before an ill-timed mid race burst of speed onto the heels of the leaders. Shuffled back but rallied again with a quick move to the rail heading into the stretch only to labor to switch leads and then not persevered with. Came back with a sharp allowance score over 7f. Tough spot to stretch out though.
