REAL IMPACT (Deep Impact -Tokio Reality by Meadowlake)

Real Impact, by the great Deep Impact, was already established as one of Japan's best milers before coming to Australia last season to contest The Championships. His two Australian starts yielded a tremendous first-up win in the Group 1 ATC George Ryder Stakes defeating Criterion. He was then a brave but luckless second in the Group 1 ATC Doncaster starting from Barrier 18 and giving 4kg to the winner Kermadec.

Real Impact displayed his ability early in the world breeding and racing powerhouse of Japan. From three starts at two, he won sensationally on debut and was twice second in Group 1 and Group 2 company – beaten only by Japan's Champion 2YO Colt Grand Prix Boss. At just his sixth race start he won the Group 1 Tokyo Yasuda Kinen over 1600 metres in a staggering 1:32 flat, the first 3YO ever to win the race, rated among the World's Best Group One Races.

Awarded a Timeform rating of 124, Real Impact retired to stud with five wins, five placings and $5.6 million prizemoney and is currently serving his first book of mares at Shadai Stallion Station.

Nice to see us get some of the Deep Impact blood..

I love the diversity of the blood on the Arrowfield roster, with Animal Kingdom another out cross for all their Danehill line mares..

To be fair I can't believe its taken so long for an Aussie stud to grab a son of Deep-Impact to stand here.

His stud record in Japan is absolutely phenomenal.

I would be surprised if he doesn't prove very popular.

What a sire, freakishly continues to produce the best horses in arguably the best racing country on the planet.

Could be as good as his own old man Sunday Silence.
