Danon Premium to Stud
1 July
The 2017 2 year old Champion,Danon Premium, is retired with a 6-2-0 record out of 15 starts and earnings of over $4,000,000.
He was unbeaten as a 2 year old and win the Asashi Hai Futurity Stakes Grade 1 with a stakes-recored time over 1600m.
As a 3 year olds career he won Yayoi Sho over 2000m, beaten the eventual Derby winner.
He continued his career as a 4 year olds and managed to win 2 Grade 2 races and 2nd in Grade 1 races twice, including finishing behind Almond Eye in Tenno Sho.
He traveled to Australia in 2020 and contested the Queen Elizabeth 2 Stakes at Royal Randwick. He didn’t like the heavy ground and finished 3rd behind Addeybb and Verry Elleegant.
It is a shame for Danon Premium’s retirement but he has another important duty as a stallion as he is a son of Deep Impact.
I am sure he will inherit his gene of the exceptional cruising speed and acceleration to a new generation.
