Changing the Definition of Impending

Media Release - Monday May 4

If you believe Darley’s Group I winner Impending is poised to be the next Lonhro son to make it big as a sire, then you need to look hard at these two lovely mares offered in the Magic Millions Cornerstone Reduction.

Impending ordinarily precedes doom or disaster; The impending storm or impending failure...
 
At Cornerstone we have a very different feeling about IMPENDING, the dual Group One winning son of LONHRO. There are three foals by Impending at Cornerstone and they are all far from disastrous.... In fact they are some the best foals we have on the farm.
 
The power of VOBIS in all of its guises is also undeniable. Money motivates and, in our view, Victorian trainers will be more then encouraged when they see IMPENDING’s first crop of yearlings in 2021.
 
That is why we supported IMPENDING in 2018 and again in 2019. In the inaugural Magic Millions Online sale you will find two mares in foal to Impending that we can wholeheartedly recommend.

Impending
 
For a fast, good looking, multiple Group One winning son of LONHRO there is only one thing more generous than IMPENDING's 2020 fee of $19,800…. and that is the current value of these mares in foal to him.

Lot 24 BACKSTREET LOVER  is a Street Cry mare with plenty of size and scope. The mating to Impending provides the resultant foal the same Lonhro / Street Cry cross that has worked so well with yesterday’s G1 Robert Sangster Stakes runner up in LYRE.

Oridane - click for more information

Lot 41 ORIDANE is a young stakes winning 2YO whose only foal to race is now a multiple winner by Shooting to Win. She also has a nice Capitalist filly in the sale (lot 14). ORIDANE is being sold in foal to Impending to dissolve a partnership.
