Daniel Bluman (ISR) rode the world elite at the highly-rated Great Race of Greenwich near New York with Corbie V.V. The Zangersheide mare, born in 2015, by Cornet Obolensky a.d. Kerbie V.V. by Chacco-Blue – Royal Feu – Grand Veneur – Cor de Chasse – Rantzau xx, is descended from one of the most valuable French stud stallions. Heiner Kanowski, the long-time managing director of the Oldenburg Stud Association, has browsed through the pedigrees for spring-racer.de.

Corbie V.V. He shines in a pedigree that is unique. Such a concentration of top-class genetics is rarely discovered by even connoisseurs at first glance. Corbie’s achievements are no coincidence, as the thoroughbred mare comes from one of the most successful mare strains in French breeding, probably even one of the best horse dynasties in the world. The two famous broodmares Javotte D and Sophie du Chateau are the source of the success.
Corbie leads in a direct descending line from Javotte D v. Cor de Chasse – Rantzau xx. Exemplary from this family is Itot du Chateau, which, under Edwina Tops-Alexander (AUS), ranks among the most profitable horses in the world with a lifetime earnings of more than 3.5 million euros.
Father Cornet Obolesnky He is one of the world’s best international stallions, whose offspring frequently appear on spring-reiter.de. A stamp stallion! Three ambassadors of his sire line in ascending generations are successful in the 1.60 class. The pedigree and the breeding are among the best in the world, which the breeding has to offer. Cornet Obolensky’s sire line, which includes the legendary Cor de la Bryére v. Rantzau xx, appears five times in Corbie’s pedigree book and sets an important accent with Rantzau xx in the damline.
Mother Kerbie V.V. She also has a sensational performance record in her breeding catalog. She herself was successful with Cassio Rivetti (BRA) in the 1.50 class and combines the French top stallions Almé, Laudanum xx, Grand Veneur, Rantzau xx and Cor de Chasse, which also came from the crossing of Ibrahim X Ultimate xx. Kerbie has already produced excellent offspring: three offspring are 1.60-winners and one daughter is 1.50-winner. Not less performance-oriented is her grandmother Ligie, who can boast three 1.60-winners and five 1.50-winners. A remarkable record that is based not least on the bloodline of the classics Ramiro-Raimond, Almé and Furioso xx as well as the course successes on the international stage of Chacco Blue, the sire and his sparring partner Royal Feu in this lineage.
From this French world-class mare line of Corbie V.V., Vigo Cece also steps into the spotlight of the international sports scene. This Quaprice Bois Margot (v. Quidam de Revel) – Diamant de Semilly (v. Le Tot des Semilly v. Grand Veneur) – Galoubet (v. Almé)- son belongs to the most frequently visited and most successful French sires of modern times. Many parallels between the ancestors of this stallion and those of Corbie V.V. show the promising performance potential of a farsighted and consistently bred family, as promoted by Studbook Zangersheide for decades.
