It is the late Chacco-Blue that tops this year's prestigious Rolex WBFSH Showjumping Sire Ranking. Ranked no. eight last year, the stallion has climbed all the way to the top on the 2017-ranking. 

Diamant de Semilly, last year's leading sire, is rank two on the 2017-list while For Pleasure also is down one spot to rank three. The same goes for Cornet Obolensky, while Casall stays put as rank five. 

Old kings like Quidam de Revel and Baloubet du Rouet are still to be found in the Top 10, and the latter also has his son Balou du Rouet represented.
