Deep Impact / Dream Passport / Ouija Board

Thanks! anyone know who finished fourth? Where did Hearts Cry finish.

My video feed went down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT performance by Deep Impact. He's a true superstar and a joy to watch. VERY proud of my girl as well. I knew she couldn't give DI first run, but unfortunately got boxed in at the head of the stretch. Good to see her gain ground in the last furlong, too. Also, I was impressed with Dream Passport. On to Hong Kong...

I havent seen the race yet, but what another crackling run by Ouija.. its been a pleasure to have witnessed her race over the past 4 seasons. I remember seeing her come third in her debut at 20-1, and was intrigued by her name alone.. What she has gone on to acheive has been brilliant... I'd love to see her against Pride though in Hong Kong.. Now that would be some some race...

And as for Deep Impact, he got his reputation back and hopefully, he bows out of racing with another classic performance...easy easy easy

after that race, he should be setup for a big run in the arima kinen. hopefully it will be a coronation befitting of this great champion.
