09/12/2024 09:28 AM
The Aga Khan's Zarigana (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}–Zarkamiya {Fr}, by Frankel {GB}), a granddaughter of the storied Zarkava, attained 'TDN Rising Star' status with a stunning performance over seven furlongs at Chantilly in July and duly delivered a first black-type triumph with a display reminiscent of the owner's star distaffer in Thursday's G3 Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp.
The 4-5 favourite was swiftly into stride and was steadied off the tempo in sixth through halfway in this one-mile test. Angled to the outside passing the quarter-mile marker, she cruised to the fore approaching the final furlong and lengthened clear in style to easily outclass the hitherto undefeated Angeal (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) by an untroubled three lengths.
Pedigree Notes
Zarigana, half-sister to a yearling filly by Dubawi (Ire), is the second foal and scorer produced by Listed Prix Thiberville victrix and G1 Prix Vermeille third Zarkamiya (Fr) (Frankel {GB}), herself kin to Group 1-winning sire Zarak (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}), Listed Prix Charles Laffitte victrix Zaykava (Fr) and to the dam of dual Group 3 winner Zeyrek (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}). The January-foaled bay's second dam went unbeaten through a seven-race career, annexing the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe along the way.
