He is known to pass on his strength for collection and trainability, and has produced numerous champion sons including Don Primero, Don Schufro (Grandsire of Canaan Ranch’s Donates), Davignon, De Niro, Dream of Glory and Del Piero.  Additionally, he has produced super talented mares such as High Noon and Dona Carrera.

At the 1998 World Championships in Rome, Karin Rehbein and the meanwhile 17-year old stallion were once more part of the German gold medal team and gained an excellent fourth place in the individual rating.
