The Hronis Racing color-bearer was sold to Brian Levings of Levings Racing in a deal brokered by Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock, Colt Pike, and David Ingordo.

“I've had fun on the racing side and decided to dip a toe in the stallion market,” Levings said. “New York has a strong program and has shown that stallions from the Empire State can have a bright future.”

“A Grade 1 winning son of Scat Daddy is a great complement to the New York stallion market and a perfect fit for our program,” says Rockridge's Lere Visagie.

Combatant is currently being syndicated and will stand for $7,500 LFSN his first year. The stallion will remain in Kentucky through the end of the Keeneland September Sale for any Kentucky breeders interested in the New York program.

Frank Conversation just completed his second year at stud at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, N.Y.

“We're thrilled with the quality of his first crop of foals, and would love to see international success for the horse,” says Rockridge Stud's Lere Visagie. “An opportunity to shuttle just seemed like a no-brainer.”

The deal was brokered by Bowling Bloodstock and Sullivan Bloodstock.

“We've had great success in the past with Santa Sara, most recently having sent Goldencents there,” says Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock. “They take very good care of the horses and we think Frank will be well-received there.”
