I find it hard to get a good impression of Donatello. How great is his influence on today's horses? How good a horse was he, how good a sire was he? Are there any pictures of him? I know of one but that looks more like a drawing than a picture: http://www.trk-base.com/showphoto.php?id=1291&n=0&s=480

Look for him (racing-career, progeny) at www.galopp-sieger.de !

In male line he should be alive in AUS / NZ. Recent German champion-mare Mi Emma has had him in her pedigree.

We invested much research in verifying and presenting such an exhaustive amount of data in so many different modes.

Of course this is Sysyphus-labour that will never end - but the result improves from day to day.
