This showjumping talent boasts an exceptional pedigree. He combines the Olympic stallions Emerald van ’t Ruytershof and Baloubet du Rouet, both of whom have established themselves as top-class Grand Prix sires, with a remarkably strong damline. Shanghai reached the second round viewing at the KWPN stallion approvals earlier this year and is a half-brother to the 1.50/1.60m-level horses Kartouche (s.Baltic VDL) and Mr. Fuchs (s.Mr. Blue). Dam Utravola also produced the 1.40/1.45m-level horses Carbani (s.Carolus II) and Impossible (s.Tornesch). Moreover, she is the full sister of the international 1.50m-level mare Travola of Michelle Vandal. Other successful horses from this direct lineage competing at 1.50/1.60m-level include Garavola, Jaravola, Midnight, Hera FBH, and Westham.
