The maternal grandsire, Romancier, is paternal half brother to Rubinstein, adding a generous portion of rideability into the gene pool.

The most expensive foal at the A.O.S. foal auction was sired by Fürst Romancier. A gifted stallion with everything it takes to be an exceptional performance horse producer!
