Ebaziya (foaled 18 March 1989) is a retired Irish-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and mare who won three Listed races. As a broodmare, she has bred four individual Group 1 winners.
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. Ezana was bought by Jim and Mary McDonald of Herbage Stud in 1994. Ebaziya is a granddaughter of Dan Cupid's daughter, Evisa.[3]
Ebaziya was trained by John Oxx.[4] [5] She was given to Queen Elizabeth II as an 80th birthday present by Aga Khan in 2006.[6]
Ebaziya won three listed races in Ireland.[7] At 2 years, she was the winner of the Ratoath Fillies race. At 3 years, she won three races, Ballysax Stakes, Oyster Stakes and Trigo Stakes, all in Leopardstown.[8] She was ridden by Johnny Murtagh.[9]
Ebaziya has 14 offspring.[10] She went to stud in 1993 and her first mate was Sadler's Wells, producing Ebadiyla.[11] Other offspring include Ebaza, Ebaraya (by Sadler's Wells),[12] Elapour (by Sadler's Wells),[13] Edallora (by Refuse To Bend),[14] Elasouna (by Rainbow Quest),[15] Ebatana (by Rainbow Quest),[15] Elbasana, Erzen (foaled 17 March 2005, by Daylami),[16] Eytarna (by Dubai Destination),[12] and Ezbek (by Rainbow Quest).[17] After being given to the Queen, Ebaziya was sent to German sire Monsun, resulting Estimate in 2009 when she was 20.[6]
Eight of Ebaziya's offspring are the winners of various races. Four won the races at Group 1 level, the 1997 Irish Oaks and the Prix Royal Oak winner Ebadiyla, and the 1998 Moyglare Stud Stakes scorer Edabiya.[2] [10] [18] In addition, Enzeli and Estimate are the winners of the Ascot Gold Cup in 1999 and 2013, respectively.[19] Estimate won it for Queen Elizabeth II.[20]
Ebaziya was rated 97 at two years and 111 at three years by Timeform.[21]
