Arc Champion Zarkava Foals a Filly by Frankel

Undefeated champion Zarkava (Ire) (Zamindar), who was a French highweighted filly at two and from 9 1/2-14 furlongs at three, foaled a filly by Frankel (GB) on Apr. 14, The Aga Khan Studs announced on Monday. A full-sister to French listed winner and G1 Prix Vermeille third Zarkamiya (Fr) (Frankel {GB}), the bay is also a half-sister to G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud hero and G1 Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Zarak (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}). Zarkamiya produced her first offspring, a Medaglia d'Oro filly, earlier this spring, while Zarak is covering his third full book of mares at Haras de Bonneval. The dam of 11 straight foals, the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine has a 3-year-old filly by Siyouni (Fr), a Sea The Stars (Ire) juvenile colt called Zaskar (Fr), and a yearling filly by Dubawi (Ire).
