The superbly bred and well-performed Danon Platina will become the first son of the legendary racehorse and sire, Deep Impact, to take up stud duties in South Africa when he retires to Mauritzfontein for 2019. Danon Platina was Japan’s Champion 2YO Colt of 2014 when the striking grey won three of his four races.
He scored his most notable win at two in the G1 Asahi Futurity Stakes, scoring three parts of a length win over an 18 horse field – with third-place finisher, Clarity Sky, going on to win the G1 NHK Mile Cup the following year.
