DEEP IMPACT DELIVERS AGAIN If there were any lingering doubters of =s dominance of the stallion population in , they were likely silenced yesterday when the Shadai resident=s (Jpn) sealed that country=s juvenile championship in the G1 Asahi Hai Futurity S., a victory that came just a week after Deep Impact=s (Jpn) won the fillies= equivalent, the G1 . In fact, the progeny of Deep Impact have now won 10 of 23 JRA Group 1s this year. Breaking with the field from the two hole, Danon Platina quickly dropped back and angled off the fence to travel near the rear of the pack. After fighting his rider for a few strides, the grey settled into a comfortable rhythm and began to circle rivals as the field rounded the turn. He still had most of the field in front of him as he turned for home, but Danon Platina put in a fierce rally down the center of the track, hitting the lead inside the furlong marker to win by an ultimately comfortable three-quarters of a length from the fast-finishing Arma Waioli (Jpn) (Matsurida Gogh {Jpn}).

High Chaparral smoothly navigated a significant class jump to take the G1 Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster to cap his juvenile campaign, and he returned a seven- length winner of the G1 Ballysax S. at Leopardstown in April.

High Chaparral cont. And like Galileo, High Chaparral was sent off the heavy favorite and came home a decisive winner reunited with Kinane--who would ride him for the remainder of his career--becoming the 15th horse to complete the Derby double. He led home a Ballydoyle/Sadler=s Wells trifecta that day, with Sholokhov (Ire) and Ballingary (Ire) in his wake. A summer holiday ensued for High Chaparral and his next task was the G1 Prix de l=Arc de Triomphe in October, where he would face elders for the first time. Racing prominently off the pace of his stablemate Black Sam Bellamy (Ire), High Chaparral stayed on bravely to be third to Marienbard (Ire) (Caerleon) and Sulamani (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}), beaten just 1 1/4 lengths. Three weeks later he recorded the same margin, this time in victory, in the GI Breeders= Cup Turf at Arlington Park (video). That win over America=s triple Grade I winner With Anticipation (Relaunch) resulted in High Chaparral=s first trophy as Eclipse champion turf horse. After his highly productive sophomore campaign, High Chaparral stayed on the shelf until August 2003, when he returned a winner in The Curragh=s G2 Royal Whip S. He returned to Group 1 action in the Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown, where he bested the globetrotting Group 1 winner (Ire) (Fairy King) by a neck (video). A return trip to the Arc followed and High Chaparral again filled the third position, this time behind the Aga Khan=s Dalakhani (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}). The 4-year-old=s next--and final--career stop was a return trip to the Breeders= Cup to defend his crown. He "It's sad news,@ the rider said yesterday. AHe was a succeeded in his mission, but this time had to share the very tough, genuine horse and very talented. He won spoils, dead-heating with Johar () and two Breeders' Cups, the English and Irish Derby.

High Chaparral is the sire of six Northern Hemisphere Group 1 winners, including three that won at the highest level this year. That list is headed by dual Group 1-winning miler Toronado (Ire), who took last year=s G1 Sussex S. and this year=s G1 Queen Anne S. and will take up stud duty next year at The National Stud in Newmarket. Lucky Lion (GB) won this year=s G1 Grosser Dallmayr Bayerisches Zuchtrennen in Germany, while High Jinx (Ire) took the G1 Prix du Cadran on the Arc undercard. The sextet is completed by dual GI Northern Dancer Turf S. victor Wigmore Hall (Ire) and GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf winner Wrote (Ire). High Chaparral also leaves behind the highly promising J “TDN Rising Star” J Free Eagle (Ire), who won this year=s G3 High Chaparral and Johar dead-heat in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Enterprise S. and finished third in the G1 Champion S.

Racing Post High Chaparral=s first Southern Hemisphere crop included the horse that is likely to be his greatest legacy--the globetrotting superstar So You Think (NZ). A strapping dark bay in the mold of his sire, So You Think won his first of two G1 Cox Plates--Australia=s most historic weight-for-age contest--as a 3-year-old about a month before his true third birthday in 2009, and after sitting out the autumn he added four more Group 1s--including a Cox Plate repeat--before finishing third under top weight in the G1 Melbourne Cup.
