Pedigree information
The keur mare Lianne (s Ganges) is the dam of Torino. She competed in harness a number of times and completed a nice performance test. The basis of this mare line is formed by the ster preferent Keampla (s Gloriant). This is the mare line of multiple champion Silvester-S (s Navigator) who earned a total EUR 25,000 Euros. Through daughters by Marconi, Unitas and Uterp we come to the Ganges daughter Lianne.
