US Fields p3 DEEP IMPACT DELIVERS AGAIN If there were any lingering doubters of Deep Impact=s dominance of the stallion population in Japan, they were likely silenced yesterday when the Shadai resident=s Danon Platina (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 Shonan Adela (Jpn) won the fillies= equivalent, the G1 Hanshin Juvenile Fillies. 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}).
