Levendi is up for sale on the Inglis Digital platform, with bidding at $50K plus (last time I checked). I really like him as a stallion prospect - profile not dissimilar to Roman Emperor from the same family, plus Pierro from a Redoutes mare. What’s he worth? Would he be commercially viable in Oz? The fact they’ve gone to a public auction suggests he couldn’t get placed privately.

Does seem strange that an AJC Derby winner can’t find a home at stud.

Maybe the stable trained all of the lead out of his pencil?

It is a shame he suffered that injury at the height of his career. Who know what he might have achieved.

His 2yo maiden win was a very strong race, The 3 placegetters all up to stakes level.

I wouldn't be surprised if Levendi went to stud in NZ, either.  He comes from a very solid, productive Kiwi family and there are no sons of Pierro standing there.

The Australian Derby winner Levendi (Pierro) will stand as a stallion in Tasmania after topping tonight’s Inglis Digital May (Late) Online Auction, selling to McShane Bank for $365,000.

The entire was purchased by Tasmanian trainer Brendan McShane, on behalf of a client, who will stand him at Broadmarsh in Tasmania.

McShane himself grew up around the breeding industry – his father Walter stood stallions since the early 1970s, his best being the 2013 Adelaide Cup winner Norsqui.

The family has been without a stallion for “the past 10 years or so’’ but is thrilled to be teaming up with the client to stand Levendi.

“My client is extremely happy, I’m extremely happy, this will be the first stallion he has ever stood and the first that my family and I have been involved in for around a decade, so we’re very excited,’’ McShane said.

“We’re thrilled with the Sir Tristram line coming through to Lonhro and Pierro and now into this horse, we really think it’s a recipe for success.

“I’m still training in Tassie but I’m excited to be putting the skin back into the breeding industry. We’re proud to be back in the game, our property is moving into its ninth generation so the future looks bright.’’
Levendi was offered by GW Racing Bloodstock Pty Ltd, on behalf of the ownership syndicate.

GW Racing’s Manny Gelagotis said: “We’re excited about his stallion career and at the end of the day, it’s great to see another stallion standing in Tasmania.

“He’s the sort of horse that if he gets the right support, which I’m sure he will, I think he’ll be a star because he was bred to be a star, he was a star on the track, he’s a 2YO winner, a G1 winner, it all adds up.
“We’re really appreciative of Inglis, they’ve always been great to deal with and been great for the stable and they’ve been a tremendous help through all of this as per usual.’’
