Great job by the Timeform boys - her essay the highlight of their recent Annual. In it they tell how Zarkava`s triumph in the Arc was the culmination of the Aga Khan`s dream of producing another filly like Petite Etoile (Zarkava`s fifth dam)

Top rated fillies:
136 - Allez France
136 - Habibti
135 - Dahlia
135 - Coronation V
135 - Pebbles
134 - Petite Etoile
134 - All Along
133 - Zarkava

Most of those rated superior to Zarkava did so as older fillies. It`s such a shame that New Approach didn`t go to the Arc. Just as Moscow Flyer had Azertyuiop and Dancing Brave had Bering, NA and Zarkava could have made each other.
 
I had a feeling it wouldn`t be too long until someone from the Weights and Measures Dept would be along venturing that opinion.
