Multiple stakes winning filly Zarinsk has been retired to stud.

The Ger Lyons-trained daughter of Kodiac struck four times at stakes level, the highlight being a Group 2 victory in the Minstrel Stakes at Leopardstown in July.

She was last seen finishing sixth behind Tahiyra in the Group 1 Matron Stakes last month and Lyons has confirmed that was her last racecourse outing.

“She's gone to stud. She had a great year and she was a pleasure, which you always get from that outfit (owners Juddmonte),” said the Glenburnie trainer.

“It's been a frustrating year but she's been one of the highlights.”
