Aga Khan's TDN Rising Star Zarigana Wows Paris with Stunning Prix d'Aumale Triumph

Date: 
Thursday, 2024, September 12

The Aga Khan's Zarigana (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}–Zarkamiya {Fr}, by Frankel {GB}), a granddaughter of the storied Zarkava, attained 'TDN Rising Star' status with a stunning performance over seven furlongs at Chantilly in July and duly delivered a first black-type triumph with a display reminiscent of the owner's star distaffer in Thursday's G3 Prix d'Aumale at ParisLongchamp.

The 4-5 favourite broke swiftly and was steadied off the tempo in sixth through halfway in this one-mile test. Angled to the outside passing the quarter-mile marker, she cruised to the fore approaching the final furlong and lengthened clear in style to easily outclass the hitherto undefeateg G3 Prix Six Perfections victrix Angeal (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) by an untroubled three lengths. Angeal's Christopher Head-trained stablemate Rosa Salvaje (Ire) (Maximum Security) finished four lengths back in third.
