Deep Impact’s much admired, Gr.1 winning son Profondo has arrived and settled in well at Windsor Park Stud, Cambridge, in advance of his first season at stud this year.
The $1.9 million sales topping colt was recently purchased for stud duties by a triumvirate consisting of Windsor Park Stud, Mapperley Stud and Lion Rock Bloodstock and the recent success of Profondo’s sireline in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks and Gr.1 Sistema Stakes through Deep Impact’s son Satono Aladdin has served to focus further attention on Profondo’s credentials.
“Since we announced securing Profondo the response from breeders in New Zealand and Australia has been phenomenal,” said Windsor Park studmaster Rodney Schick.
“He has been special from the time he was a foal, living up to his breeding and sales performance by winning at the elite Gr.1 level on the racetrack."
“Now that breeders here have the opportunity to view him in the flesh they understand why he achieved what he did,” continued Schick.
“We have been taking applications as demand for his services is high and because we have a limited number of outside nominations available to him we are announcing his fee earlier than planned and have set it at $17,500+gst for 2023.”
