Sosie is one of five winners out of Sosia (Shamardal), a winner who was stakes-placed in France. Her other produce includes Uther (Camelot), a Group winner in France who took the Gr.3 Prix Noailles, the Listed winners Anasia (Intello), also multiple Group-placed in France, and Copie (Iffraaj), whose Listed win came in Germany, and Sosino (New Approach), who was second in the Gr.3 Prix Daphnis. Third dam Sacarina (Old Vic) never raced but produced nine winners besides Sahel.
