It was only 2013 that children of Deep Impact could not win GI races overseas during the above period.

Gentildonna went to Dubai for the first time and finished second in the year.

When I think about it now, it was regrettable in terms of records.

If Kizuna also won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the record was set.

However, the winners in the races were strong, so they couldn’t help it.

Number of wins by country

The number of wins by country is as follows.

Ireland

GⅠ: 1  Graded race: 2 win  Total: 3 wins

France

GⅠ: 4  Graded: 9  Total: 13

U. K.

GⅠ: 6  Graded: 1  Total: 7

Australia

G: 8  Graded: 1  Total: 9

Dubai

GⅠ: 4  Total: 4

Hong Kong

GⅠ: 5  Total: 5

United States

GⅠ: 1  Total: 1

There are many winners in France as I expected.

Both Japanese horses and the one bred overseas won graded races there.

Other records

From here, I will write other detailed records.

The first overseas group race winner

Beauty Parlor was the first daughter of Deep Impact who won a group race  overseas.

She won the Prix de la Grotte (GIII) in France on April 15, 2012.

About two weeks later, Aquamarine won the Prix Allez France (GⅢ).

Beauty Parlor is also the first GI winner.

She won the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches at the Longchamp Racecourse in France On May 13, 2012.

The race is also called the French 1000 Guineas.

Her achievements are really great.

Horses that have won multiple times

The following is the horses who have won GI or group races overseas multiple times.

Beauty Parlour, Fancy Blue, Saxon Warrior, Fierce Impact

Tosen Stardom, A Shin Hikari, Snowfall, Loves Only You

Glory Vase

Among them, the horses shown below won GI races multiple times.

Fancy Blue, Saxon Warrior, Fierce Impact

Tosen Stardom, A Shin Hikari, Snowfall, Loves Only You

Glory Vase

Fierce Impact, Snowfall and Loves Only You won GI races most. They won in three races.

A demon in races overseas

This is limited to Japanese horses, but I dedicate the title of “a demon in races overseas” to Vivlos.

A Shin Hikari was also strong overseas, but I wonder if his achievement cannot match the one of Vivlos.

It is interesting that there are horses who can obtain better results overseas than they can do in Japan.

Although there are only a few generations left, I hope that children of Deep Impact will win as many major races as possible overseas.

On the following day when this article in Japanese was published, a new group race win was achieved!

Harajuku has won the Prix Cleopatre (GⅢ) in France!

As a result of this victory, the number of wins by children of Deep Impact in group races overseas has reached 30.

Harajuku is active as a racehorse.

So, I’d like to see her GI wins in the near future and expect further record breaks.
