Superstar Balou du Reventon meets the damline of Sapphire
Balou du Reventon has been one of the most successful stallions in sport in recent years and his offspring are performing exceptionally well on the highest level. The 3-year-old gelding Balou du Lac stands out for his high level of carefulness, good reflexes and enormous ability. His pedigree is very strong with Balou du Reventon, Darco, Nabab de Rêve and Lys de Darmen in a row – going back to the strong damline of McLain Ward’s two-time Olympic gold medalist Sapphire.
