Zarak Share to be Offered at Arqana’s Latest Online Pop-Up Sale

Another share in the Aga Khan Studs stallion Zarak (Fr) will be offered by Arqana Online during a pop-up sale to be held on Friday 12 July.

The share entitles the holder to one covering per year, plus an additional covering every odd-numbered year, i.e. two coverings in 2025 followed by one covering in 2026, and so on. Last month, an identical offer on the Arqana Online platform was awarded to Laurent Benoit, acting on behalf of Haras Voltaire, for €740,000.

The auction will take place between 5pm and 6pm local time, with registration to bid now open at www.arqanaonline.com.

A four-time winner under the training of Alain de Royer-Dupré, including the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, Zarak benefits from an exceptional pedigree as a son of Dubawi (Ire) and the unbeaten Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe heroine Zarkava (Ire) (Zamindar).

He had his first season at Haras de Bonneval in 2018 and has produced three Group 1 winners – and 20 stakes winners – from his early progeny, including Poule d’Essai des Poulains hero Metropolitan (Fr). Haya Zark (Fr) also struck at the highest level this year in the Prix Ganay, while Zagrey (Fr) became his sire’s first Group 1 winner when he claimed the Grosser Preis von Baden in 2023.
