Background

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

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

Ebaziya has 14 offspring. [11] She went to stud in 1993 and her first mate was Sadler's Wells, producing Ebadiyla.

[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.
