HARAS de Bonneval’s Zarak (Dubawi) is one of the hottest young sires in France, and his third crop of more than 80 juveniles will be hitting the track before long.

Having sired eight stakes winners in his first crop, including three Group 1-placed winners, Zarak had one stakes winner from his second crop until last week, and then in the space of 24 hours he added two more. Crown Princesse won the Group 3 Prix Cleopatre at Saint Cloud, continuing her upward curve on just her third start, before Jules Cooper’s Village Voice won the Listed Salsabil Stakes at Navan, also on her third outing.
