Deep Impact
 

If anyone is awake, I suggest watching his last race in Japan. Should be a huge crowd that comes out to support this horse. If he runs anywhere near his last, he could beat these with his eyes closed.

Lucky you!

barely awake but i did see it. what a performance!
its hard to know how good he really is but he is clearly untouchable in japan. how exciting will it be if he goes into the starting gate against Hurricane Run in th Arc?

did you see it?

The replay...

http://www.jra.go.jp/vi/doc/mc_resul...razuka_dsl.asx

i was still up (barely, watched in bed, last vision of the night was that horse going past the finish)...hell of a horse, fun to watch him make that type of move. always a lot more enjoyable to see a horse sweep past the entire field, than to watch a horse set the pace and draw off. but that's just me.

looking forward to him against the euros.
