We’re thrilled to announce our latest purchase from the Arqana Arc Sale securing ZABIARI for €450,000.
Some of his credentials include:
- Dual Group 3 winner over a mile
- 5 wins from just 12 starts
- Timeform rating 113, the highest-rated horse we’ve ever purchased!
- By world-class sire WOOTTON BASSETT, who sired 2xGr1 winners on Sunday alone.
- From the family of champion mare ZARKAVA
- ZABIARI has already defeated 22 individual Stakes or Group winners including 4 Gr1 winners
- Bred, raced and sold by the Aga Khan Stud, one of the best breeding and racing operations in the world who won the Arc on Sunday.
- ZABIARI has done all his racing on premium tracks at Saturday level and Stakes / Group level.
- His Gr3 win this year was on Oaks Day in Chantilly
ZABIARI ran a very good race on Saturday despite the heavy track, which don't really suit him. He was strong late, and his trainer, Francis Graffard, suggested he would improve beyond 1600m.
