Background

edit

Ebaziya was foaled on 18 March 1989 and was bred at the Aga Khan's Studs.[1] She was sired by Darshaan.[2] Ebaziya's dam is Ezana, hailed also from the Aga Khan's Studs.[3] Ezana was bought by Jim and Mary McDonald of Herbage Stud in 1994.[3] Ebaziya is a granddaughter of Dan Cupid's daughter, Evisa.[4]

Ebaziya was trained by John Oxx.[5][6] She was given to Queen Elizabeth II as an 80th birthday present by Aga Khan in 2006.[7]

Racing career

edit

Ebaziya won three listed races in Ireland.[3] At 2 years, she was the winner of the Ratoath Fillies race.[8] At 3 years, she won three races, Ballysax Stakes, Oyster Stakes and Trigo Stakes, all in Leopardstown.[8][9] She was ridden by Johnny Murtagh.[10]

Stud record

edit

Ebaziya has 14 offspring.[11] She went to stud in 1993 and her first mate was Sadler's Wells, producing Ebadiyla.[12] Other offspring include Ebaza, Ebaraya (by Sadler's Wells),[13] Elapour (by Sadler's Wells),[14] Edallora (by Refuse To Bend),[15] Elasouna (by Rainbow Quest),[16] Ebatana (by Rainbow Quest),[16] Elbasana, Erzen (foaled 17 March 2005, by Daylami),[17] Eytarna (by Dubai Destination),[13] and Ezbek (by Rainbow Quest).[18] After being given to the Queen, Ebaziya was sent to German sire Monsun, resulting Estimate in 2009 when she was 20.[7]

Eight of Ebaziya's offspring are the winners of various races. Four won the races at Group 1 level,[19] the 1997 Irish Oaks and the Prix Royal Oak winner Ebadiyla, and the 1998 Moyglare Stud Stakes scorer Edabiya.[2][11][19] In addition, Enzeli and Estimate are the winners of the Ascot Gold Cup in 1999 and 2013, respectively.[20][21] Estimate won it for Queen Elizabeth II.[21]
