The dam, Toskira is a former P.S.I. Auction highlight and currently in training with the RS2 Dressage Center. Grand-dam Toska R has also produced the stallion Don Davidoff, the 2002 Young Dressage Horse World Champion and National Champion. The three-year-old Versaille is destined to write his own history in the dressage arena. Catalogue no 15, Fabuleux, a brown-bay gelding by Fürst Romancier – Contendros Bube – Key West was also sold to Australian buyers.
