As an individual

A bay mare, Embur’s Song was rather headstrong and preferred to dictate the pace from the front end.

As of May 2021, Embur’s Song has produced five named foals of racing age. Four have started and two have won.



Connections

Embur’s Song was bred by Josham Farms. A US$170.000 yearling at the 2008 Keeneland September yearling sale, she was owned by Fares Farm. She was trained by Todd Pletcher. She was sold to Bridlewood Farm for US$900,000 at the 2015 Keeneland November mixed sale, in foal to More Than Ready.


Pedigree notes

Embur’s Song is inbred 5x4 to 1963 American co-champion 2-year-old male Raise a Native. She is a half sister to juvenile listed stakes winner Ten Flat (by Meadowlake) and to Dawn Raid (by Vindication), dam of multiple Grade 1 winner Exaggerator (by Curlin), whose victories include the 2016 Xpressbet.com Preakness Stakes (USA-G1).

Embur’s Song and her siblings were produced from multiple stakes-placed Embur Sunshine, whose half sister Private Villa (by Private Terms) is the second dam of 2011 Ecuadorean champion 3-year-old male Villa Madrid. The sisters are out of Vevila (by The Minstrel), a half sister to three-time Canadian champion Eternal Search (by Northern Answer), Australian Group 3 winner Raslaan (by Shareef Dancer), and multiple Canadian stakes winner Gone to Royalty (by Royal Chocolate). Eternal Search is the second dam of nine stakes winners including multiple Grade 2 winner Smokey Fire, Grade 2 winner Frumious, and Canadian Grade 3 winner Jiggs Coz, and Embur Sunshine is also a half sister to Finally Found (by Lord Durham), dam of Grade 2 winner Finality (by Dehere) and Grade 3 winner Stolen Beauty (by Deputy Minister) and second dam of Grade 2 winner This Ones for Phil. In addition, Vevila is a half sister to listed stakes-placed Savethelastdance (by Nureyev), dam of 2004 Queen’s Plate winner Niigon (by Unbridled) and second dam of 2004 Acorn Stakes (USA-G1) winner Island Sand and 2006 Mexican champion 2-year-old male Pozo de Luna.

Vevila and her siblings are out of unraced Bon Debarras, a daughter of 1972 Manhattan Handicap winner Ruritana (by Graustark). The next dam in Embur’s Song’s tail-female line, Chou Fleur, is by 1960 Canadian Horse of the Year Victoria Park out of the Nearctic mare Orchestrina and is a winning half sister to 1971 Prince of Wales Stakes winner No Pro Escar (by New Providence).
