Ten years ago on this day, 2008 Horse of the Year Zarkava achieved one of her most amazing performances when winning the Gr.1 Prix Vermeille after having missed the start. On Sunday, her daughter Zarkamiya will line up in the same race. @theTDN @bloodstocknews @Jour_de_Galop

🎂 Happy birthday today to #Zarkava , described by H.H. the Aga Khan as "the greatest reward a breeder could have." The 5-time Gr.1 winner descends from #MumtazMahal via #PetiteEtoile and her only daughter, who was given rather a special name...

Some lovely photos of triple Group 1 winner #Tarnawa in pre-training, ridden by Barry Walsh at Gilltown Stud. The five-year-old mare who won the Prix Vermeille, Prix de l’Opéra and Breeders’ Cup Turf last year has been enjoying a seasonal break before returning into training.

A thrilling performance from Tarnawa who scored by 3 lengths in the Gr.1 Prix Vermeille at @paris_longchamp today. The 4yo filly gave her owner-breeder H.H. the Aga Khan a record breaking 8th victory in the race. By Shamardal, she's the first foal of dual Stakes winner Tarana.

🥈 What a brilliant run from #Siyouni filly #Tahiyra ! Already at Gr.1 winner at 2, she was very close to becoming her sire's seventh individual Classic winner on only her third racecourse start.
