Rayevka

2022 b. f. Blue Point - Rayisa (Holy Roman Emperor)

Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard

Speedy Rayevka is by Group 1 winning sprinter Blue Point out of Stakes winner Rayisa, whose family is that of recent Classic heroine Rouhiya.

She ran three times as a two-year-old, placing once, winning once and then finishing sixth in the Gr.1 Cheveley Park Stakes.

On her return at three, she was over keen in the Gr.3 Prix Sigy, where she finished fourth, but scorched home to a three-length victory in the Listed Prix Marchand d'Or. 

She had done enough to earn a trip to Royal Ascot, where she ran a huge race to finish third of 21 runners in the Gr.1 Commonwealth Cup. 

Rayevka ran three more times that season, including a second place finish in the Gr.3 Prix du Petit Couvert, and a good sixth in the Gr.1 British Champions Sprint Stakes.

She opened her 2026 account with two runs in Dubai, finishing fifth and sixth respectively. Back in France and back down to five furlongs for only the second time in her career, she got back to winning ways in the Gr.3 Prix de Saint-Georges – successful on the same card as her half-brother Rayif, winner of the Gr.1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains.
