But I agree with you DI looked to be a beast and just wreaks of class.
Do you happen to know what his plans are for the year?

Yeah its tough to say how good the field is. usually alot of two mile races are filled with horses too slow for shorter distances, but i believe the first 3 home were genuine g1 horses. Deep Impact will be heading for the Arc in October and a fascinating clash with Hurricane Run is expected. He has only been beaten once by Hearts Cry on christmas day last year and considered unlucky as rider went for home too late. Hearts Cry beat Ouija Board et al in dubai and is on course for the King George at Ascot in July where he'll meet Hurricane Run. So it will give us an indication of how strong Deep Impact is.
