    So why not retire her unbeaten and thought of as the best filly since Allez France? Apart from money which the Aga Khan does not need, there is little to gain in keeping her in training and a lot to lose.

    The problem is she may not be thought of as the best filly since Allez France but the best filly racing on good/good to soft ground going right handed on a flat track in France. This sadly I suspect is all the Aga Khan wants while the racing world wanted to see if she was a truly great racehorse.

    No point even debating the rights or wrongs of this decision.

    Its the nature of flat racing and why I’m a jumps fan.

    I’m just happy that my memory of Zarkava is illuminated by her final two wins and the sheer brilliance she showed. Could she have ever repeated the feat? We’ll never know, but the memories of Zarkava will live on.
