Embuche was easily the best filly of her generation on Brazil. Imported to the United States for broodmare duty, she produced one stakes winner but had no lasting impact.

Honors
Brazilian champion 3-year-old filly (1967/68)
As an individual
A chestnut mare; no further information available.
As a producer
Embuche produced five named foals of racing age, of which four started and two won. Her only foal of any significance was Dough Passer (1976, by Buckpasser), a minor stakes winner who died without issue.
Connections
Embuche was bred by Roberto and Nelson Seabra and raced for Stud Seabra. Imported to the United States after her racing career, she became a broodmare for Ogden Phipps. After producing four foals in his ownership, she was consigned to the 1975 Keeneland November mixed sale, in foal to Buckpasser, and was bought for US$40,000 by W. H. Peckham. The last report for her in the produce records is of her producing a dead foal in 1977.

Embuche is out of 1958/59 Brazilian champion 3-year-old filly Emoción (by 1943 Italian champion 3-year-old male and two-time Italian champion sire Orsenigo). A half sister to 1961/62 Brazilian champion 3-year-old male Emerson and to 1960 Grande Prêmio Ipiranga winner Empyreu (both by Coaraze), Emoción, in turn, was produced from 1948 Argentine champion 3-year-old filly Empeñosa, who swept both the Polla de Potrancas (Argentine One Thousand Guineas) and Gran Premio Selección (Argentine Oaks) of her year and trained on to be a major winner in Argentina in 1949 and one of the best Brazilian-based sprinters of 1950.
Empeñosa was sired by two-time Argentine champion sire Full Sail out of the Congreve mare Ermua, whose dam Guernica was sired by the important Argentine sire Sandal (by 1902 Ascot Gold Cup winner William the Third) out of Energie, by two-time Argentine champion sire Your Majesty. The female line traces back to the great Argentine foundation mare Ante Diem.
