Zarkava confirmed in foal to Sea The Stars

By Bloodstock World Staff 4:02PM 23 MAR 2010
THE Aga Khan's brilliant Zarkava has been confirmed in foal at the 15-day stage to Sea The Stars, prompting Ladbrokes to reveal a number of special bets surrounding the resulting foal and others from the first crop of the Tsui family's outstanding colt.

Ladbrokes now go 50/1 from 100/1 for a three-year-old by Sea The Stars out of Zarkava to triumph in the 2014 Arc. They also go just 4/1 that Sea The Stars will sire a British Classic winner in 2014.

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "There's still an incredibly long way to go but this is wonderful news for bloodstock and Flat racing fans. If results hinged purely on breeding we'd already be paying out on the 2014 Arc result."

Zarkava produced her first foal last month, a filly by 2004 Arc winner and leading young sire Dalakhani.

Her dam, Zarkasha, has also been recently confirmed in foal to Sea The Stars. Other notables mares in foal to the multiple Group 1 winner include Lush Lashes, Alpine Rose and Asmara, the dam of Azamour.

Sea The Stars is standing his first season at Gilltown Stud in Ireland for €85,000.

Wow its not every day King Jock gets some press!

Age of Aquarius. :(

I hope it's not as bad as it looked.

Not sure how reliable this is, but I just found it on Twitter:

"Age Of Aquarius who broke down in the Goodwood Cup has been taken to the veterinary - more news when we get it"

Come on, AOA. Pull through!

"Age Of Aquarius taken to veterinary centre at Arundel; was walked onto horse ambulance; looks to be career- rather than life-threatening."

Sounding a bit more positive. :) Fingers crossed.

The ups and downs of racing - I was so thrilled to see old Borderlescott win the King George Stakes.

Agree and thanks for the Aquarius news. Fingers crossed as well.

Poor Borderlescott... injured and out for the rest of the season.
