THIRD GR.1 WINNER OF THE YEAR FOR ZAMINDAR
Article taken from the EBN
Juddmonte’s ZAMINDAR has been enjoying a splendid year,
thanks to the exploits of his daughters Darjina and Coquerelle,
and Zarkava became his third individual Gr.1 winner of 2007 when
she ran away with the Gr.1 Prix Marcel Boussac. It was only the
second outing for the Aga Khan homebred, who sped past the
long-time leader Conference Call to win by two and a half
lengths. Zarkava lost her maiden tag over course and distance on
9th September, the same day that her stablemate and paternal
half-sister Darjina added the Gr.1 Prix du Moulin to her
victories in the Gr.1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and Gr.1 Prix
d’Astarte, and the Alain de Royer-Dupre-trained juvenile was
flagged as a Classic candidate in EBN’s report of her maiden
win.
ZAMINDAR’s success did not finish there, as he was
also responsible for another juvenile Stakes winner yesterday when
Gran Zamir landed the Listed Premio Eupili at San Siro, the colt’s
third victory of the season. Meanwhile, Conference Call’s sire,
Haras du Quesnay’s Anabaa, was also successful at San Siro as his
Ralph Beckett-trained daughter Celtic Slipper made her trip to
Italy worthwhile with a splendid five and a half length victory in
the Gr.3 Premio Dormello.
