Lot 339 is blue-blooded import Zerenda (Fr), who has a host of unraced relatives in training for the Aga Khan that have the potential to turn a good pedigree into a great one.

- Zarkallani (2016 Invincible Spirit Gelding) Metropolitan winner and is due to race in black type races in the coming weeks.
- Zaykava (2017 Siyouni Filly) Reported to have shown good ability but has needed time and should make her debut in the near future.
- Zaskar (2018 Sea The Stars Colt) Unraced. Reported to be a nice, well balanced individual.
- Unnamed 2019 Dubawi Filly
- Unnamed 2020 Frankel Filly

Zerenda's dam Zerkaza has the following progeny to race:

- Zeyrek (2017 Sea The Stars Colt) Reported to be a good looking individual who is progressing nicely with trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre. He is due to make his debut in the coming weeks.
- Zeroua (2018 Siyouni Filly) Unraced. Reported to be held in very high regard by her trainer Alain de Royer-Dupre.

All of these beautifully bred horses are all owned by the Aga Khan and will be given every chance to succeed on the track and at stud.
