His main influence in the male line is through his Selle Français great great-grandson Grand Veneur (1972). However, of far greater importance to modern showjumper breeding were Ultimate's many daughters, most importantly Girondine, the dam of Almé Z and grandam of Quastor. Thus his name can be found in the pedigrees of thirteen of the 100 leading show jumping sires of the 1990s. The 1990 World Champion Quito de Baussy (1982) was inbred 3 x 4 to Ultimate, while the successful sire Le Tot de Semilly (1977) is inbred 3 x 4 x 5 to him.
