Busy Cokoriko is France's golden boy after proving a hit with the ladies

The Dikler likes to keep abreast of all things bloodstock and has recently learned the stallion who covers the most mares in France each year earns the moniker Le Rocco D’Or.

This year the honour has fallen to the young jumps sire Cokoriko, who has enjoyed trysts with a record-breaking 240 matrons.

It transpires that ‘Le Rocco’ is a reference to the Italian Rocco Siffredi who, apparently, is a well-known star in the adult film industry. A man of large proportion, Siffredi is currently appearing in a Netflix series covering his life and, shall we say, body of work.
