91 sports foals to Foal Auction Prinsjesdag Tuesday

With about four days to go, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is preparing for the annual elite auction that uses 'The Power of Performance' as the starting point for its selection procedure. A unique collection of foals will be presented in Ermelo on Prinsjesdag, where performance in the direct dam's line is the rule rather than the exception. In addition, the sires are also of exceptional quality. The top five of the WBFSH jumping ranking, Kannan, Cornet Obolensky, Diamant de Semilly, Baloubet du Rouet and For Pleasure, are strongly represented.

No fewer than 22 jumping foals are directly linked to the top 5 of the best breeding stallions. Combine that with the quality and amount of performance in the dam lines and the chance of a future topper is high. The absolute number 1 of the ranking, Kannan, is represented by two direct descendants, but also a grandson with number 2, Cornet Obolensky as sire.

The influence of Heartbreaker and his son Toulon in this collection is also worth mentioning, because no fewer than seventeen foals are direct or indirect descendants of them. One of these is the national champion filly, Korinchidee (by Etoulon VDL) from breeder Dirk Noordhuis.

The videos of the auction foals have already been widely viewed on YouTube and a lot of interest has already been shown online for dressage foals such as Koh-I-Noor (by Johnson), Kasimoglu (by De Niro), Kingston (Fürstenball), Kassion (by. Sir Donnerhall), Kiss of Rose (by De Niro), Kaiser de Niro (by De Niro), Krime-Time (by Bordeaux), Katosion (by Glock's Toto Jr) and Kayne (by Governor). Popular showjumping foals include King Capital B (by Numero Uno), Levita (by Levisto Z), Caesar (by Cornet Obolensky), Kishaniki (by Latour) and Katascha CB (by Kannan).

The 40 dressage and 51 jumping foals will be auctioned next Tuesday, September 15 in Ermelo. The first presentation is at 12:30 PM. For more information: www.prinsjesdag.eu. The auction can be followed via the ClipMyHorse.tv livestream.
