Haras de Saint Maur offered a son of Zarak out of a half-sister to NO NEWS, notably the dam of Prix Sagan (Gr.3) winner MESSAGERE and this season's Prix Aguado (Gr.3) scorer PARADISIO. Paul Basquin had the final say at €52,000 for the colt from the leading maternal family line of NEWNESS the dam of NO RISK AT ALL, NICKNAME, NOM D’UNE PIPE and NOM DE D’LA. 

The offspring of Zarak have already shown themselves, so I am very happy with this purchase, said Paul Basquin of Haras de Saubouas. “His dam is by Dalakhani, that is a good broodmare sire, and she is young from a great jumping family. It’s an interesting cross that could give rise to lots of opportunities in the future.
