Some of the best Aga Khan mares were sent to Sea The Stars last year, including Champion Zarkava who gave birth to a colt while her dam, Zarkasha, foaled a bay filly by the same sire. The dam of the young leading sire Azamour and the dam of triple Group 1 winner Darjina both gave birth to fillies by Sea The Stars. The dams of Group 1 winners Behkabad and Kalanisi respectively produced colts by the Champion. As for Vadaza, the dam of Group 1 winner Vadawina, she delivered a good-looking filly by Sea The Stars and is now in foal to Azamour. Her daughter Vadawina, who is responsible for Group 2 performer Vadamar, returned to Dalakhani this year.
