Zarkava wins the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp
The Aga Khan's three-year-old horse Zarkava has become the first filly to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp since 1993. Top French jockey Christophe Soumilion rode Zarkava to victory late Sunday afternoon in a thrilling race, despite the damp weather.
