He was a bay stallion with good conformation that was bred by Emirates Park (Vic) Pty Ltd. Encosta de Lago is by Fairy King (USA) a brother to Sadler's Wells, who has sired over 400 winners that have won over A$54.3 million. His dam, Shoal Creek (by Star Way (GB)), is a half-sister to Flying Spur and great granddaughter of the famous Northern Dancer mare, Fanfreluche (USA). Shoal Creek has produced four named foals which included:
- 1999 bay or brown colt, Diera Creek by Snaadee (USA)
- 2002 chestnut colt, Salman by Danewin
- 2006 bay or brown filly, Zyoon, by Al Maher, but none of these horses are currently stakes-winners.
