The horse has lost 1 race in 11 (he came in 2nd). I think he has run in five G1's. If he wins the ARc and continues on...

Is the Arc really his NEXT race? Will DI run in a prep race or are they training him up to the race?

I haven't really followed Deep Impact that much, so I don't know if that's not unusual for this horse... but the Arc isn't run until early October, right?? That's a LONG layoff!

You are correct Zippy. Early Oct. That is only a 3 month layoff. I would be interested in seeing when they ship Deep Impact to France.

I was just thinking about it... with the BC being run on November 4 this year, maybe we'll see more Arc runners this year because of the extra week between the Arc and BC? That would be nice.

He looked good on Sunday morning but that was against Japanese bred horses. I think he will have a very hard time in the Arc. I think he will have a harder time in the US.
