FIRST YEARLINGS

Raison d'Etat a regally-related son of A.P. Indy

RAISON D'ETAT (USA) - 2008 bay horse
Small crops for the Calumet Farm stallion – he covered 25 mares in his first season and 45 in his second – but as a son of the dynasty-making stallion A.P. Indy (by Seattle Slew) and out of the prolific Grade 1 star Sightseek (by Distant View), he certainly has the pedigree to spring a few surprises.

His dam won seven times at the highest level, her half-sister Tates Creek (by Rahy) won both the Grade 1 Yellow Ribbon Stakes and Grade 1 Gamely Breeders' Cup Handicap), and their sibling Quest To Peak (by Distant View) is the dam of one of the luckiest fillies of the modern era.

Special Duty (by Hennessy) won the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes as a two-year-old and was crowned champion of her sex that year. Her record shows that she completed a classic double at three, taking both the Group 1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas) at Longchamp, but she was actually pipped by Jacqueline Quest in the former and by Liliside in the latter, and got both races in the stewards' room.

Nijinsky Star (by Nijinsky), the unraced third dam of Raison d'Etat, was a half-sister to Six Crowns (by Secretariat), the Grade 1-placed stakes-winning dam of champion and notable sire Chief's Crown (by Danzig), her own descendants include Group 1 Prix de la Foret heroine Etoile Montante (by Miswaki) and Grade 2 winner Pollard's Vision (by Carson City), who is the sire of multiple Grade 1 star Blind Luck, and her dam was the champion and multiple Grade 1 heroine Chris Evert (by Swoon's Son).

Raison d'Etat (USA) – b.2008 - A.P. Indy – Sightseek, 2 wins inc 2nd Curlin Stakes (L), 3rd Discovery Handicap (Gr3). Sire in USA. First foals in 2015.
