We are sad to announce that #Zarkasha has passed away at the age of 26.

Zarkasha will long be remembered in the studbooks as dam of the brilliant #Zarkava and granddam of leading sire #Zarak. She's also great granddam of 2025 Classic hope #Zarigana.

She will be greatly missed by all the team.

MTR announced himself in the paddock, hollering like the super stud he would become. I thought he was well named, but of course had no idea he'd sire 13 champions, internationally! 🏇
