Owner Colin McKenna told the Warrnambool Standard he was excited with the mating of his star mare and Impending.
"Impending raced in the top company, winning five of his 18 starts including Group 1 races," McKenna said.
"I'm confident he'll develop into a top stallion.
"Impending is a magnificent athletic-looking stallion he has a real presence about him. Impending is extremely well bred, being by Lonhro.
"He's the highest-rated son of Lonhro standing stud in Victoria."
He was the first three-year-old in a decade to win the Group I Stradbroke Handicap and will seek to follow in the footsteps of Lonhro's brilliant sire son Pierro, the Champion First and Second Season Sire of his generation.
"We were mindful with the mating that we wanted a bit of speed into the breeding, as Jameka's performances in staying races were outstanding and I feel Impending fits the bill to offer speed into the progeny," he added.
Impending stands at a fee of $22,000.
