We live in an age of influencers. Our time also thrives on inspiration to dream. With his truly extraordinary pedigree, Zaskar is one such inspiration. The son of two legends, Sea The Stars and Zarkava, both winners of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, he is also – and above all – the synthesis of two of the most prestigious families in world horse racing, more vibrant than ever in 2025. His sire Sea The Stars has nothing left to prove as a top stallion, like his brother Galileo. His immense roll of honour has been further enriched during recent months thanks to the exploits of Daryz (Gr.1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe), Aventure (Gr.1 Prix Vermeille) and Sosie (Gr.1 Prix Ganay, Prix d'Ispahan, Hong Kong Vase). A stunning success story whose fee will be 300,000€ in 2026. On the maternal side, Zarkava’s granddaughter Zarigana won the 2025 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches. Now retired from breeding, Zarkava is making an incredible mark at the highest level at stud, as is her son Zarak, a leading stallion offered at €80,000. Zaskar is the only other son of Zarkava to stand as a sire. As his first three-year-olds prepare to hit the track, this dream thoroughbred sired his first 2yo winner at Deauville in December courtesy of Roi Trezy (from only 23 first-crop live foals). His offspring are very distinctive, athletic and have already shone in conformation shows. The latest in this category is Temple Star, winner of the Yearling Championship at the 2025 Chaser Day. With Zaskar, ‘the dream exists, I've met him’.
