They include the three by Apollitical Jess and three by One Famous Eagle, who is the sire of the All American winners One Dashing Eagle in 2012, Imperial Eagle in 2016 and Fly Baby Fly

This gelding is out of Gunsight Peak, and she was out of Tomatillo, who was out of Favorite Attraction. This means the sire and the dam of Political Attraction descend from the same female family through Favorite Attraction.
