Super filly wins Arc de Troimphe
Updated at 6:12 am on 6 October 2008
The French-trained super filly Zarkava has stormed to victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the world's richest horse race on turf.
Zarkava was sent out the hot favourite despite nearly being scratched because of the soft track, and she put the issue beyond doubt soon after taking the lead with about 300 metres to go.
Zarkava, owned by the Aga Khan, has won all her seven races, and she's the first filly for 15 years to win the great race.
