Progeny of Deep Impact have won numerous GI races and major group races overseas.
They also achieve victory every year.
＊Last update: June 10, 2023
Wins in group races: 12 consecutive years from 2012
Wins in GⅠ races: 10 consecutive years from 2014
Today, I will summarize the data just for your information.

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: 3 Graded race: 3 win Total: 6 wins
France
GⅠ: 4 Graded: 9 Total: 13
U. K.

Australia

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, Auguste Rodin
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, Auguste Rodin
Auguste Rodin won GI races most. He won four GI races.
Fierce Impact, Snowfall and Loves Only You achieved victory in three GI races.
It’s really amazing that Loves Only You accomplished the result even though she belonged to a stable in Japan.
Moreover, it was the result of her moving from place to place.
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.
