Jos Lansink insures Cumano embryo

The first sale via the new auction website www.embryoauctions.com is a fact. The embryo of former world champion Cumano and the Grand Prix jumping mare Parabel (Animo) was sold for 16,000 euros to Jos Lansink, who achieved great success with the famous gray stallion.

“A purchase based on emotion,” admits Lansink. He is looking forward to the foal to be born in 2016 and bred by Ton Vullers of Embryo Animal Center. “I don't normally buy foals, let alone embryos. But this story is also not normal. I have a bond with Cumano. There are already few descendants of him and there are not many to come. What's left of him jumps above average. So for that reason alone I think this is an interesting gamble, especially because the dam herself was a top sports mare.”

Whether Jos Lansink (54) will drive it himself in the future remains to be seen. “Perhaps I will still drive, but I don't think at a top level anymore. But I'm sure someone else will look after it too?”, he laughs. “Hopefully I'm lucky with this purchase!”

The online auction of the second embryo will close next Sunday at 8 p.m. This descends from Mylord Carthago out of Tsarina de la Loge (Ideal de la Loge x Tenor de la Cour), the full sister of the Grand Prix show jumper Quod'Coeur de la Loge ridden by Roger-Yves Bost..

The embryo that will be auctioned the following week is from Vagabond de la Pomme out of Jesprit's Girl (Quidam de Revel), a half-sister of the top stallion Montender (Contender x Burggraaf),
