Laveno b.c. 1892 (Bend Or - Napoli, by Macaroni). Sire Line Bend Or. Family 1-h.

Bred by J. H. Houldsworth, who also owned Springfield (b.c. 1873 St. Albans), Laveno was full brother to the Great Yorkshire Stakes, New Stakes and Rous Memorial Stakes winner Orvieto (b.c. 1888 Bend Or), and half brother to the Park Hill Stakes and Yorkshire Oaks winner Ponza (b.f. 1887 Springfield).

During his turf career he won two of eleven starts, including the Jockey Club Stakes and Champion Stakes, in the latter beating the Duke of Westminster's Grey Leg (gr.c. 1891 Pepper and Salt). He also finished 2nd to Kirkconnel (b.c. 1892 Royal Hampton) for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, beating Sir Visto (b.c. 1892 Barcaldine).

In the stud he got better fillies than colts, with his only classics winner the Irish Oaks winner Topstone (b.f. 1901), and his daughters themselves achieved more in the stud than on the race course. Veneration (b.f. 1900) was the dam of the Champagne Stakes, Middle Park Stakes, Newmarket Stakes and New Stakes winner Craganour (b.c. 1910 Desmond), later a great stallion in Argentina, the Ascot Gold Vase winner Glorvina (b.f. 1911 Desmond), and the Princess of Wales's Stakes winner Nassovian (b.c. 1913 William the Third). Another daughter, Padula, attained significance in America as the dam of Black Servant (br.c. 1918 Black Toney), and the 5th dam of Raise a Native (ch.c. 1961 Native Dancer), the latter the sire of one of the most successful twentieth century stallions, Mr. Prospector (b.c. 1970). Laveno stood among the top twenty sires three times. He died in August of 1909.
