Zarkava

She is a brilliant filly, no doubt about it, but making her 2-1 favourite without facing a colt is pushing it...

It will probably be a big field for the Arc this year with a fair few Coolmore pacemakers trying to set it up for Soldier of Fortune and I don't believe she will be able to lie 15L back and win like she just did against the very best in Europe, unless she really is that good. My guess is that Soumillion will overdo the waiting tactics and get her beaten..

Reganding the US, Ideal World will most likely be over there next year and looks to have a really bright future..

The times are usually meaningless in France and moreso yesterday as the Vermeille was the only one with a pacemaker and the other 2 races had a horse on the front that actually wanted to win the race..
