GISW Combatant to Rockridge Stud

Last year's GI Santa Anita H. victor Combatant (Scat Daddy–Border Dispute by Boundary) has been retired and will stand at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, New York beginning with the 2022 season. Campaigned by Hronis Racing, the 6-year-old 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,” said Levings. “New York has a strong program and has shown that stallions from the Empire State can have a bright future.”

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

Currently being syndicated, the millionaire will stand for $7,500 LFSN in his first year. The stallion will remain in Kentucky through the end of the Keeneland September Sale. For more information visit www.rockridgestud.com.
