This is an excellent article on Deep Impact whose progeny earned $65,000,000+ on the racetrack in 2015.

Thanks for sharing. I love Deep Impact. I had always taken his progeny’s earnings with a grain of salt because of Asia’s rich purses. But I did not realize he had so many G1 winners as compared to his contemporaries! I also can’t believe he has his own merch. I want a Deep Impact beach towel. :lol:
wow he is gorgeous! He really is exceptionally well balanced and well proportioned. I prefer a horse that is not huge - they just seem to move over the ground a little lighter and quicker than the biggies. Here are articles on height, although not a study:
