Latimer's sire Saint Cloud was vice champion at the Munchen – Riem stallion performance test in 1991 with an overall rideability score of 153 points. As a three and four year old Saint Cloud was often successful in conformation show classes. He then went onto to have a successful dressage career attaining high placements and wins up to Grand Prix under Karin Rehbein before being sold to Switzerland in 1999.

Saint Cloud’s progeny have been very successful at foal shows and riding horse championships for many years.

The dam's sire Caprimond is one of the most frequented Trakehner stallions of today (see Caprimond in frozen semen list). The grand dam Larissa was vice-champion at the central registration of four year old mares in Bavaria in 1990. She furthermore presented the winning family at the state Trakehner show in Munich-Riem in 1994, which included Larina and Latimer’s dam Lara.

Lara was also awarded the I-a prize at the state show.

Her son Liebestraum was approved and is covering in Rheinland today. Liebestraum's maternal background includes the family of Lust 143 which also produced the stallions Lions Club, Lucado, Lucito and Luzifer. The latter is from Liebestraum’s granddam Luta. From a contemporary point of view Sokrates, who was too hastily sold to Brazil, is probably the most diverse sire of the Trakehner breed of his generation as regards to hereditary transmission. The jumping ability of his descendants is a prominent characteristic
