Spring Champion Stakes winner retired to stud in New Zealand.
Profondo, the $1.9 million yearling who won a Spring Champion Stakes, has found a home at stud in New Zealand.
The son of Japanese legend Deep Impact has been secured for stud duties in a joint deal between Windsor Park Stud and Mapperley Stud.
"Windsor Park is really excited to be joining with Mapperley Stud again in a brilliant stallion prospect who is a strikingly handsome individual with a race record and pedigree to match," Windsor Park studmaster Rodney Schick said.
"He was a sales-topping yearling and from a fantastic family but few tick all boxes and end up being Group 1 winners as well."
Profondo, who is out of the Redoute's Choice mare Honesty Prevails, had a profile long before he hit the racetrack after topping the 2020 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
His standout performance came at just his third start, when he won the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) at Randwick, while he also finished third behind Anamoe and Fangirl in last year's Group 1 Winx Stakes (1400m).
Profondo will commence stud duties later this year with a stud fee to be announced in coming weeks.
