I've been a horse racing fan for well over 55 year's but I mostly followed American horse racing. Since the 2024 Ky. Derby, when Forever Young finished in a 3 way photo, I started reading up some on Japanese horse racing. I never realized how big horse racing is in Japan, and I didn't have a clue that an American horse, Sunday Silence started it all. Not only on his own, but thru horse's he sired, mainly Deep Impact. Wow, what a horse! I know one thing, I will definitely pay much more attention to horse's from Japan when they come to America to race. The Japanese trainer's are very serious, and determined to excel at horse racing. It's only a matter of time, and short time, when a colt from Japan wins the biggest horse race in America! I didn't use to give them a second look, but from now on, any horse from Japan will automatically be on my short list.
some fans call that "time slowing" acceleration by a higher pace than other, I think that may be wind in her hair has a X factor, that make his heart and his daughter strong.
Deep impacts Arima Kinen win is my favourite race to watch of all time. The ground he makes up around the bend on the bridle is amazing. I was broken hearted when he lost the Arc and subsequently disqualified. Absolutely loved this horse
i was there. it was mayhem hands down best racing experience of my life and i've see a LOT. mate and i woke up hungover as hell in Roppongi and bullet train 1st class to Kyoto. words can't describe was formguides/hats/everything flung in the air at the furlong like 1920s and just huggin random strangers (male and female) everyone in tears. he was beyond rockstar status at time i do Hong Kong racing and was visiting so talked a mate into it, best decision ever. Japanese people are so awesome
Interesting the way he was ridden even though always back in the field. Always taken wide coming to the cnr never looking for splits closer to the inside. Those 3 victories were enormous .
Three great races, I absolutely love group races English classics & the prix de Arc de triomphe is my highlight of the flat season, I also love National hunt racing, kauto star, Denman, Long run, Big bucks, Aye they where the days..
She challenge twice at least, first time in 2005 when Alkaseed Broke the record by winning a nose to Heart's Cry(which will make only Deep Impact defeat in Japan)and she is in 5th , second time in 2006, she was 3rd.
The trainer asked the jockey not to win big so that Deep Impact would not get hurt. The first two times this was not adhered to, the jockey was sorry. Deep Impact retired in his prime because the owner was afraid he would get hurt. So I don't think he was concerned about the time. But for your information, 2000 meters on grass is 1:58.4 2500meters on grass is 2:31.9 3200meters on grass is 3:13.4 Deep has a bad habit of forgetting the race because he enjoys having anotner horse running next to him. On the day he lost in Japan, Deep Impact forgot the race and did not respond to the whip, the jockey said. The female anchor added, “Deep Impact's neck didn't move at all that day. How could he run in that condition?” She was surprised. The race was then won by a wide margin by Deep Impact over the losing Hearts Cry.
Nobody knows the horse would really perform before the newcomer maiden, for example, Liberty Island(won Hanshin JF 2022) reach the last 3 furlongs with 31.4 seconds in her newcomer maiden in Niigata.
According to his fateful performance in the 2006 Arc, maybe for many European ordinary racegoers, Deep Impact was simply nothing but an overpriced fluke in front of those truly superior European horses --- he may even unable to match their 2nd-rate runners as well. Now I believe he has finally regained some reputation because of the achievement of his progenies racing in Europe, especially, of course, August Rodin, which just won another G1 hours ago.
He was a good horse but when he came to France in the arc he couldn't beat the best of Europe. What he beat in Japan were not top class group 1 horses he met his match in October 2006. Just the way it is
Deep Impact had a cough at the time and took cough medicine prescribed by a French veterinarian. This is a drug approved in both Japan and France. Nevertheless, he stopped taking the medicine five days before the race, but after the race, the drug was detected and he was disqualified. The theory was that the drug had probably somehow gotten into the straw, and Deep Impact had eaten it. In Japan, straw is changed every day, but in France it is changed once a week. By this reason among a very small group of Japanese, who still said that Deep Impact won by doping. (Doping has recently been banned in the U.S.) However, the world's horsemen still have faith in him, and not only did the world's best stables breed his mares, and also Queen Elizabeth also sent a mare to be bred by him. His children and grandchildren are still successful. Equinox is also a grandson of his full brother.

Look how he accelerates in the Arima Kinen, pure speed.

ディープインパクトは鞍上の武豊曰く、「最も乗りづらかった」
そうなんですか!?
He's the son of one of my favorites, Sunday Silence!!
He is my admire
ディープちょくちょく掛かり気味になってるけど、本当に全然揺れないんだな武豊
英雄
Beast

I forgot Ouija Board ran in the Japan Cup.
She challenge twice at least, first time in 2005 when Alkaseed Broke the record by winning a nose to Heart's Cry(which will make only Deep Impact defeat in Japan)and she is in 5th , second time in 2006, she was 3rd.

What are his race distances and times?
The trainer asked the jockey not to win big so that Deep Impact would not get hurt. The first two times this was not adhered to, the jockey was sorry. Deep Impact retired in his prime because the owner was afraid he would get hurt. So I don't think he was concerned about the time. But for your information, 2000 meters on grass is 1:58.4
2500meters on grass is 2:31.9
3200meters on grass is 3:13.4

How many whips did the jockey use in the first race to him 🤭🤭🤭
Nobody knows the horse would really perform before the newcomer maiden, for example, Liberty Island(won Hanshin JF 2022) reach the last 3 furlongs with 31.4 seconds in her newcomer maiden in Niigata.

No whip, of course!
ディープは小柄ながら小さい頃から負けん気が強く、
「負けたくない」「速く走りたい」「勝ちたい」という気構えが前面に出ている子でした。
自分が馬場に出てきただけで、大観衆が「ディープ!!」と大歓声で喜んで迎え、彼が勝つと大声でまた観衆が「ディープ、おめでとう!」と歓喜の声で讃える。それをあの賢い耳でよく聞き分け、人々がまるで自分を崇めるかのように迎えていたのをよく知り、人々を喜ばせたいという思いで疾走していた馬です。まさに、王者でした。
「自分が走るとみんなが喜ぶ」それを自分の走る喜びにしていた馬でもありました。特に、ラストランでの映像でそれがよくわかると思います。ご覧になっていなければ、是非ご覧下さい。
彼は鞭を打たずとも、自分が勝ちたくてがむしゃらに疾走する馬です。鞭など当てる必要はなかったのです。
むしろ序盤から疾走しすぎないように、「まだ待て…まだまだ…」と抑えなければならない馬でした。
彼が初めて、一回鞭を打たれたのは、2005年の皐月賞、ディープがゲートが開くと同時に素早く反応して跳び出そうとした。その時に、まだ開ききっていなかったゲートにぶつかり、落馬寸前になるくらい大きく体勢を崩した時だけです。
ですから、彼は4戦目にして初めて鞭を一度当てられたことになります。ディープはそこで、はっとして自ら体勢を立て直し、次々と他の馬を交わし、余裕をもってトップでゴールに立ちます。
deep-impact20020325.seesaa.net/article/378974694.html
騎手は武豊氏。彼はほとんど馬に鞭を当てないことで知られています。なぜなら、「自分が痛いと思うことは、馬も痛いはず。だから、危険とかよほどのことがない限り、しない」という考えがあり、また馬と気を合わせることができたからです。本来、馬と人とはそうあるべきです。
私は競馬にほとんど詳しくありませんが、ディープだけは特別です。もし馬に「Sir」「my lord」とか「Gentleman ( horse )」「Noble and honorable」という言葉が使えるとしたら、それはディープインパクトに対する称号です。
翔ぶように駆ける馬だった…
もちろん、どの馬も皆、尊いですが。
ちなみに、引退した馬たちをなるべく保護し、幸せな余生を過ごせるよう、募金やボランティア、グッズの購入などで馬たちを支援できるのが引退馬協会です。
ディープには、長生きしてほしかった…
