Undefeated Cartier Horse of the Year and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Zarkava (Ire) (Zamindar) will visit Darley stallion Shamardal (Giant's Causeway) in 2020, Jour de Galop reported on Monday. A winner of five Group 1 races and currently carrying to Frankel (GB), she will produce a full-brother or full-sister to listed winner and G1 Prix Vermeille third Zarkamiya (Fr) (Frankel {GB}) this spring. Her best offspring to date has been G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud victor Zarak (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}), who currently stands under The Aga Khan Studs' banner at Haras de Bonneval.
Shamardal enjoyed a sensational season through his progeny last year, siring three Group 1-winning colts in Pinatubo (Ire), Earth Light (Ire) and Victor Ludorum (GB), all, incidentally, for Godolphin.
