Pulpit Exchange was bet down to 5-2 odds for his career bow going 6 1/2 furlongs in the local slop May 14 and ran well to be a clear second. Hammered down to 1-2 to get the job done this time around, the Virginia-bred colt tracked the pace four wide, came a bit deeper into the stretch and finished with good energy to win by a widening 5 1/4 lengths over first-time starter Buddy Got Even (Stephen Got Even). The winner, a $200,000 KEESEP yearling, became a $625,000 FTFFEB two-year-old purchase. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $31,160.
