OUR FUNDAMENTALS CONVERGE

Chanducoq is a logical addition to our 2026 catalogue, considering that he is the brother of our indispensable ambassador Cokoriko. The pair transport us into the heart of one of the best contemporary jumps families, which includes the splendid Caesar’s Palace, a triple Group winner at Auteuil and full brother to Chanducoq. Other close relatives include the champion Bénie des Dieux and Choeur du Nord (among the top 10 French jumps sires), and the maternal line also features current hurdling phenomenon Losange Bleu (4 Gr.1 wins at Auteuil). And, like Choeur du Nord, Chanducoq is a son of the exceptional Voix du Nord, a notable jumps sire during the 2010 decade, and a flagship stallion for the Haras de Cercy. On the track, he won at two, was placed at Listed level on the flat at three and over hurdles at four. From his first smallish crops (70 progeny of racing age between 3 and 5 years old, and already over 20 individual winners) he has already seen the emergence of talented performers such as Tutti Quanti (Gr.3 hurdle winner at Newbury), Rooster Crowing (2nd Gr.3 Prix Aguado) or Kristal du Seuil (3rd AQPS Gr.3 Prix de l'Isle-Briand, 3rd Listed Prix Alain et Gilles de Goulaine). Successful by 30 lengths at Nantes in late November, Chant de Garde became the first winner for Chanducoq under the CERCY banner. The bay recruit, with a powerful expression, takes up the baton alongside his brother Cokoriko, for whom he may also be an alternative, with Voix du Nord replacing Robin des Champs in their respective pedigrees. With reference to Cokoriko and Voix du Nord, Chanducoq is the perfect synthesis of the fundamentals that have built Cercy's success.
