WHEN His Highness the Aga Khan has a stakes winner, it usually means good news for others. Each year the Aga Khan Studs sell some duplicates they have in families, and the owners of the culled stock are left smiling.

This is the case following the weekend success of Ezeliya in the Group 3 Salsabil Stakes at Navan, the three-year-old’s second win in three starts. The daughter of Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) holds a number of classic entries, and they include the Oaks at Epsom and its equivalent at the Curragh. Her dam was placed in the Irish Oaks, while a half-sister to that mare won the same race in 1997.
