What we do have is breeding. Ebiyar's father is Siyouni, a French stallion who has made a real name for himself as a sire of quick, talented horses that often hit the ground running early in their careers. The mother's side brings in Rock of Gibraltar, a horse who won seven consecutive top-level races back in his day and has passed on a decent engine to plenty of his offspring. On paper, at least, Ebiyar has come from good stock.
The Graffard yard has sent out six winners already this season, which tells you this is a stable in form and worth paying attention to when they run a horse. Whether Ebiyar is ready to add to that tally on debut is the question — but first-time-out runners from a yard firing on all cylinders are always worth watching.
