CP AMBITION is a predominantly Polish
stallion with a remarkable heritage. His sire and three of
his four grandparents are National winners and three of his
grandparents have produced National winners. His pedigree
features four close lines to U.S. National Champion Stallion
and Park BASK++, the breed’s all time leading sire of
champions, National winners, and National winner producers.
Three of these lines are from horses of the
*BASK++/*GDYNIA++ cross, one of the breed’s most successful
nicks. All of the 6 individuals of this cross produced
champions, three are National winners themselves, and four
have produced National winners. CP AMBITION also has close
lines to U.S. National Champion Stallions *ALADDINN and BAY
ABI++. Most significantly, both his sire and dam come from
strong female families. On his sire’s side, two generations
of the mares have produced National winners. On his dam’s
side, there are four generations of champion-producing
mares. CP AMBITION represents all one would expect of his
ancestry—he has size, an extreme trot, and correct
conformation. He greatly resembles his paternal grandsire,
multi-National Champion Park ZODIAC MATADOR, though he is a
much larger horse.
CP AMBITION is by 2002 U.S. Top Ten English Pleasure Junior
Horse TC MIYAKE, who has been injured and unable to show
since winning his National title. His first foal crops have
produced both halter and performance champions. From his
first 35 foals old enough to show in 2007, he has sired 10
winners including country pleasure junior horse champion and
Region 9 Reserve Champion Walk/Trot IT’S A ZINGER (who, like
CP AMBITION, is out of a double *BASK++ mare), 2006 Region

Arabian.
TC MIYAKE is a 3/4 brother to MATAGAL, dam of 2007 U.S.
Reserve National Champion English Pleasure Futurity LBF
ANTHEM. He is the son of two National Champion Park winners.
His sire, U.S. and Canadian National Champion Park ZODIAC
MATADOR, is the top-siring son of *BASK++ in percentage of
champions and National winners. ZODIAC MATADOR had 334
registered purebred get through 2005, 145 of them champions
and 55 of them National winners. Among his best known get
are multi-National Champion Park MATOI, U.S. National
English Pleasure Champions MAFIER and MAMAGE, and 22 time
National winner MAGALAD+//(who has multiple National
Championships in English Pleasure and Park AOTR and is a ¾
brother to TC MIYAKE as he is also out of a COGNAC
daughter). ZODIAC MATADOR has 19 get who have produced
purebred National winners, including National Champion
producers MATRIFIK, MATALOVE, MATTABACH, MATOI, MATTIHARI,
MAMAGE, MADORI, and MATANSKA (who is similarly bred to TC
MIYAKE as she is out of a daughter of GDANSK+/, a full
brother to TC MIYAKE’s maternal grandsire COGNAC). TC
MIYAKE represents ZODIAC MATADOR’s most successful cross—on
a *BASK++ granddaughter. This is the same heritage as
National Champions MATOI, MAFIER, MAMAGE, etc. Six ZODIAC
MATADOR grandget have now produced National winners,
including Half-Arabian National Champions in halter and
performance and purebred National Champions in performance.
TC MIYAKE’s heritage strongly suggests he will follow in
their hoofprints.
ZODIAC MATADOR’s dam RO FANCIRAY was a superb producer in
her own right. Of her 13 registered foals, four are
champions, including ZODIAC MATADOR’s 3/4 sister FANCI
ROSE+, 1995 U.S. Top Ten Country Pleasure and 1996 Canadian
Reserve National Champion English Sidesaddle and U.S. Top
Ten English Sidesaddle. Eight have progeny of their own. Of
these, four have produced champions and three have produced
National winners. Her daughter FANCI ROSE+ is the dam of
1999 Region 5 Top Five English Pleasure Junior Horse and
2000 Scottsdale Reserve Champion Show Hack TC FANCI THAT.
Her daughter FANCYTOK has produced 2001 and 2002 Region 10
Top Five Country Pleasure SAVANNAH BREEZE (by the ZODIAC
MATADOR son MATRIFIK), dam of 2 champions from her 2
registered foals including 2005 U.S. Top Ten Country
Pleasure Junior Horse MISS AFIRE BURNIN. FANCYTOK also
produced MATOK+/ (by her own maternal brother ZODIAC
MATADOR), who has 17 National titles in country pleasure,
show hack, english sidesaddle, and native costume. RO
FANCIRAY’s daughter ZF DESIREE has produced 3 champions:
2003 Region 18 Top Five Western Pleasure Junior Horse DA
DESIREEBLE, U.S. Top Ten Pleasure Driving and U.S. and
Canadian Top Ten English Pleasure WISE DECISION, and
MADESRO+/ (by ZODIAC MATADOR), who has 7 National titles in
hunt pleasure including 2 National Championships. RO
FANCIRAY is a daughter of the *RASEYN son RABOL. *RASEYN, a
Crabbet import, was noted for his trot, and his get
included U.S. Top Ten Mare ANGYL (dam of U.S. National
Champion Stallion BAY ABI++, also in the pedigree of CP
AMBITION). Like ANGYL, RABOL was out of an imported Polish
mare, *BABOLNA. She is also the dam of BALYF, whose daughter
MALIFA was a U.S. Reserve National Champion Park Horse.
RABOL himself was a noted sire of athletes and successful
broodmares. He sired a total of 5 National winners in
halter, english pleasure, formal driving and pleasure
driving in an era when National titles were far harder to
achieve as there were far fewer classes. His get include
U.S. Top Ten Mare RO RAZEENAH++ (a full sister to RO
FANCIRAY) and U.S. Top Ten Formal Driving RO RASHMA (a full
blood sister to RO FANCIRAY). RABOL daughters who have
produced National winners in performance include RO
RAZEENAH++, RO GAMIL, RO NADEEMAH (another full blood sister
to RO FANCIRAY), and RO NAQIB and RO NAZIK, each dam of 3
National winners in performance.
RO FANCIRAY’s dam RASRAY combines Crabbet and Davenport
blood. She is a granddaughter of *RASEYN, thus making RO
FANCIRAY linebred to him. She produced 7 champions, three of
them full siblings to RO FANCIRAY including National
winner and National winner producer RO RAZEENAH++. RASRAY’s
dam RASEYNA founded her own dynasty of successful
performance horses. Her daughter SASEY, a full sister to
RASRAY, produced Canadian Reserve National Champion Park and
U.S. Reserve National Champion Formal Driving and Formal
Combination JUSTICE (by the *BASK++ son THE JUDGE).
RASEYNA’s daughter MASYRA is the dam of U.S. Top Ten
Stallion MRAFF, sire of U.S. Reserve National Champion Park
MALIFA (already mentioned as a granddaughter of *BABOLNA).
RASEYNA’s daughter HIBB (a 3/4 sister to RASRAY) is the
maternal granddam of 11 time National winner HIBBOR++//, a
National Champion in Hunter and Jumper classes. Thus, ZODIAC
MATADOR’s gifts as a show horse and sire come not only from
*BASK++ but from generations of successful horses on his dam
line.
TC MIYAKE is out of 1982 U.S. National Champion Park and
Canadian Reserve National Champion Park MISS COGNAC. She is
the dam of 4 champions, 2 of them National winners. Her
other champions are hunt pleasure champion TC AWESOME and
