Zamindar, the sire of the undefeated Arc heroine Zarkava, has died, Juddmonte announced on Friday. The pensioned son of Gone West was 32.Bred in Kentucky, the homebred won his first two starts including the G3 Prix de Cabourg, before running second by a neck in the G1 Prix Morny in 1996. He rounded out his juvenile year with a third in the G1 Prix de la Salamandre that September for Andre Fabre. Kept in training at three, from three starts his best performance was a second in the Prix de Ris-Orangis and he retired with two victories in seven starts and $159,274 in earnings.Starting out at Juddmonte's Banstead Manor Stud in 1998, he stood his whole career there, barring two seasons at Marablue Farm in Florida (2001/2002). The bay was pensioned after the 2013 breeding season. The full-brother to four-time top-level winner and 2000 Guineas hero and fellow sire Zafonic, Zamindar was out of Group 3 heroine Zaizafon (The Minstrel).Besides the unbeaten Zarkava, Zamindar is credited with 34 other stakes winners anchored by fellow Group 1 winners Darjina (Poule d'Essai des Pouliches), Timepiece (Falmouth Stakes), Zenda (Poule d'Essai des Pouliches) and Coquerelle (Prix Saint-Alary). His 34 stakes winners as a broodmare sire include Kingman (out of Zenda), New Bay (out of listed winner Cinnamon Bay) and Zarak (out of Zarkava).Simon Mockridge, general manager of Juddmonte UK said, “It was with great sadness after 28 years at Banstead Manor Stud that we said farewell to Zamindar. We remember him for his power and size but above all else it was his amazing character that meant so much to those that worked closely with him. He will be greatly missed by all at Juddmonte.”The post Zamindar, Sire Of Zarkava, Dies At 32 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
