Narcotique's sisters between them are the dams of nine licensed stallions and five 1.60m grand prix horses, among them Querlybet Hero, Loro Piana and Ducati van Schuttershoff. Their dam Qerly Chin produced five grand prix jumpers herself including Walnut de Muze, dam of I'm Special de Muze, Werly Chin and Walloon de Muze.
