He was the 1992 European Champion Two-Year-Old Colt and won the following year's 2,000 Guineas. BackgroundZafonic was sired by the Mr. Prospector stallion Gone West, out of the Seaton Delaval Stakes winner Zaizafon, a daughter of The Minstrel.[2] He was owned and bred by Khalid Abdullah and conditioned by the French trainer Andre Fabre. Racing careerRacing at age two, Zafonic went undefeated. After winning a minor race at Deauville in August, he followed up with a win in the Group One Prix Morny at the same course ten days later.[3] Three weeks later in the Prix de la Salamandre at Longchamp, he took the lead in the straight and pulled clear to beat Kingmambo by three lengths.[4] He then was shipped to the Newmarket Racecourse in the United Kingdom where he won the Dewhurst Stakes by four lengths in "very impressive" style.[5] His 1992 performance earned him the Cartier Racing Award as Europe's Champion Two-Year-Old Colt. At three, Zafonic started at 10-1 ON for his debut in the Prix Djebel but lost his unbeaten record when he was beaten a short head by Kingmambo. Sent back to Newmarket for the British Classic, the 2,000 Guineas, Zafonic won by 3½ lengths from Barathea and breaking a 45-year-old course record.[6][7] In the Sussex Stakes, the colt burst a blood vessel and finished seventh. Stud careerHis racing career over, Zafonic was sent to his owner's Banstead Manor Stud near the village of Cheveley in East Cambridgeshire. He sired more than two dozen stakes winners including Xaar, the 1997 European 2-Year-Old Champion and winner of the Dewhurst Stakes and Prix de la Salamandre, Count Dubois (Gran Criterium), Zafeen (St. James's Palace Stakes), Iffraaj and Trade Fair.[8] In August 2002, Zafonic's owner leased him for the southern hemisphere covering season to Arrowfield Stud in Scone, New South Wales, Australia. Only a few days after being released from quarantine, Zafonic died on 7 September 2002 as the result of an accident at Arrowfield's paddock.[9] Pedigree{{Pedigree|name = Zafonic (USA), bay stallion, 1990[1] |inf = |f = Gone West (USA) 1984 |m = Zaizafon (USA) 1982 |ff = Mr. Prospector (USA) 1970 |fm = Secrettame (USA) 1978 |mf = The Minstrel (CAN) 1974 |mm = Mofida (GB) 1974 |fff = Raise A Native |ffm = Gold Digger |fmf = Secretariat |fmm = Tamerett |mff = Northern Dancer |mfm = Fleur |mmf = Right Tack |mmm = Wold Lass |ffff = Native Dancer |fffm = Raise You |ffmf = Nashua |ffmm = Sequence |fmff =Bold Ruler |fmfm = Somethingroyal |fmmf = Tim Tam |fmmm = Mixed Marriage |mfff = Nearctic |mffm = Natalma |mfmf = Victoria Park |mfmm = Flaming Page |mmff = Hard Tack |mmfm = Polly Macaw |mmmf = Vilmorin |mmmm = Cheb (Family: 9-e)[10] }} References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.equineline.com/Free-5X-Pedigree.cfm/Zafonic?page_state=DISPLAY_REPORT&reference_number=1276766®istry=T&horse_name=Zafonic&dam_name=Zaizafon&foaling_year=1990&include_sire_line=N|title=Zafonic pedigree |publisher=Equineline |date=2012-05-08 |accessdate=2013-05-05}} {{2000 Guineas winners}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pedigreequery.com/zafonic |title=Zafonic's pedigree and racing stats |publisher=Pedigreequery.com |date=2002-09-07 |accessdate=2011-09-03}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.racingpost.com/horses/result_home.sd?race_id=111405&r_date=1992-08-23&popup=yes#results_top_tabs=re_&results_bottom_tabs=ANALYSIS |title=Results from the 2.35 race at DEAUVILLE (FR) - 23 August 1992 |publisher=Racing Post |date= |accessdate=2011-09-03}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.racingpost.com/horses/result_home.sd?race_id=111827&r_date=1992-09-13&popup=yes#results_top_tabs=re_&results_bottom_tabs=ANALYSIS |title=Results from the 3.35 race at LONGCHAMP (FR) - 13 September 1992 |publisher=Racing Post |date= |accessdate=2011-09-03}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.racingpost.com/horses/result_home.sd?race_id=112409&r_date=1992-10-16&popup=yes#results_top_tabs=re_&results_bottom_tabs=ANALYSIS |title=Results from the 3.40 race at NEWMARKET - 16 October 1992 |publisher=Racing Post |date= |accessdate=2011-09-03}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.racingpost.com/horses/horse_home_popup.sd?horse_id=75918#topHorseTabs=horse_race_record&bottomHorseTabs=horse_form |title=Zafonic |publisher=Racing Post |date=2011-06-02 |accessdate=2011-09-03}} 7. ^{{cite news| url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/racing-mighty-zafonic-zooms-from-zero-to-hero-2320424.html |title=Racing: Mighty Zafonic zooms from zero to hero| location=London | work=The Independent | first=Paul | last=Hayward | date=1993-05-02}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://bloodstock.racingpost.com/stallionbook/stallion.sd?popup=1&horse_id=75918 |title=Zafonic Stud Record|publisher=Bloodstock.racingpost.com |date= |accessdate=2011-09-03}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/breeding-news/2002/September/08/Juddmonte-stallion-Zafonic-dies-in-paddock-accident-in-Australia.aspx |title=Zafonic dies in paddock accident|publisher=Thoroughbredtimes.com |date=2002-09-08 |accessdate=2011-09-03}} 10. ^http://www.bloodlines.net/TB/Families/Family9e.htm 8 : 1990 racehorse births|2002 racehorse deaths|Racehorses bred in Kentucky|Northern Dancer bloodline|Racehorses trained in France|Cartier Award winners|Thoroughbred family 9-e|2000 Guineas winners |
