As you know by now, a direct Contender-son becomes hard to find, however in Aalst you find 2. This one
holds a promising future, like all Contender offspring such as Contendro, Archie Bunker (W.Simpson),
Carlina (A.Krieg) and Carpalo (N.Bruynseels). Fenix, a half-brother of Calata, was M.P. Leichle’s nations
Cup horse, Surprise, a niece of Calata is M.Diederichsmeyer’s speedhorse. A bit further in this family is
Ballerina, she won team gold at the ’97 EC with M.Merschformann.
