Valentino Z is a son of Darco, without doubt one of the best sport stallions in history. Under Ludo Phillipaerts, Darco was 6th in the WC in Stockholm 1990, and 7th in the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. Darco consistently passes on his jumping talent to his offspring. More than forty registered offspring in the Breeding Guide for international jumpers turns Darco into one of the most influential stallions of all time, including the ranking of #1 showjumping sire in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Damsire Feo de Lauzelle produced a range of international jumpers including It's Me, Miss Flo and Tiramisu. The mother line of Valentino Z includes the French stallions Iveday (Night and Day xx) and Quastor (Ibrahim) and the mare Une Page (Quest France - Fra Diavolo xx). Une Page was the grandmother of the French stallions Lotus du Marais (Nankin), Leopard du Marais (Silver Matal xx) and Ouragan du Marais (Hadj A). Night and Day XX was the sire of Primo des Bruyeres, who in turn sired Olympic Jus de Pomme. Valentino Z brings a very exciting pedigree to North America!
Valentino Z was owned by Stud Zangersheide and ridden by Judy Ann Melchior and Edouard Mathe.
Some of his accomplishments: 1st place, 1.35m CSI2* Moorsele , Belgium 1st place, 1.40 - 145m, 7/8 yo CSI3* Nantes, France, 1st place CSIO4* 1st Round 7 yo Belgian Championship 1.40m - 1.45m, Lummen, Belgium 4th place, CSIO4* Final Round 7 yo Belgian Championship 1.40m - 1.45m, Lummen, Belgium
