Just Wimphof (by De Niro x Riccione x Sandro Hit) is the best represented sire at the pre-selection days for the 2021 KWPN Stallion Licensing with 15 sons entered.

The high amount of colts presented comes as no surprise as Just Wimphof was the most used sire by dressage breeders in The Netherlands in 2017 with 234 foals born in 2018, the most offspring of all KWPN dressage stallions that year.
