CANDA comes from one of the most successful families in the history of thoroughbred horseracing. She is related to top class racing and breeding performers Miesque, Kingmambo, East of the Moon, Karakontie, Miesque's Son and Massaraat. Canda is also the dam of Autocratic (Dubawi), who won the Brigadier Gerard Stakes (G3) over 10 furlongs at Sandown Park for the same connections as Evasive, Cheveley Park Stud / Sir Michael Stoute. Autocratic was exported to Australia, where he was renamed Captain Cook and won the JRA Cup (G3) at Moonee Valley.
Canda was sold for $2.4 million at the Keeneland Sales in Lexington when carrying Evasive. Evasive was himself sold for an undisclosed sum to Godolphin after excellent runs in the 2,000 Guineas (G1) at Newmarket and St. James's Palace Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot.
Canda's dam, EAST OF THE MOON, won Poule d'Essai des Poulains / French 1000 Guineas (G1), Prix de Diane / French Oaks (G1) .
Canda's second dam, MIESQUE, won the Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) twice (once in course record time), the 1000 Guineas Stakes (G1), Poule d'Essai des Pouliches / French 1000 Guineas (G1), Prix du Moulin de Longchamp (G1), Prix Jacques le Marois (G1), Prix d'Ispahan (G1) and Prix Marcel Boussac (G1) Miesque won the Eclipse Award as Champion Female Turf Horse in North American twice, she was also Champion Miler twice, Champion Two Year Old, and Champion Older mare in France.
PASADOBLE, the dam of Miesque, is the ancestress of three Breeders' Cup Mile winners - Miesque, Six Perfections and Karakontie, and she is the third dam of Godolphin's top class middle distance colt Old Persian, winner of the Dubai Sheema Classic (G1) at Meydan, Northern Dancer Stakes (G1) at Woodbine, King Edward VII Stakes (G2) at Royal Ascot and Great Voltigeur Stakes (G2) at York.
This is very much a 'live' family and good horses just keep on coming from Evasive's distaff side year in year out.
Evasive's dam Canda is a daughter of legendary Storm Cat, who is also broodmare sire of Breeders' Cup Sprint / Eclipse Award champion and highly successful sire Speightstown. Speightstown, who has sired G1 winners on dirt and turf in the USA, Europe and Dubai, is a son of Gone West. Evasive is a grandson of Gone West.
