Keith Desormeaux took Zarb's Magic for 15k at LaD when he was a 7yo. Louie Roussel claimed him for $10k a few months later at FG, and Zarb's Magic went on a tear for Louie and Ronnie Lamarque.

I see that Zarb's Magic is still tied with Sheckey Greene for the 5f real dirt record at AP. Zarb's Magic tied the record when he was 9.

Zarbyev was a solid La. sire . Surprisingly he was a NY bred and he raced in England and the USA according to pedigreequery.
