Deep Impact may never have ran on soft ground before, but with the way he moves, it won't make a difference. He will skip right on over that track just as he has done on every other track.
Also, I've watched and watched the replay of the Arima Kinen, and Deep Impact was getting to Heart's Cry. The jock on Deep Impact underestimated Heart's Cry and didn't move soon enough. He was too far back to get to him. I'm sure the jock won't make that mistake again.
Now, I don't like the layoff. We will see.
