Soumillon at his best! Tarnawa flies to win the Opera
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2020
- Dermot Weld’s Tarnawa came with a late flourish to catch Alpine Star close home in the Prix de l’Opera at ParisLongchamp.
Tarnawa had shown she was a top-class filly when winning the Prix Vermeille three weeks ago in good style, and was among the favourites to follow up.
Her main rival was Jessica Harrington’s Alpine Star, who had gone close in the French Oaks and Prix Jacques le Marois after winning the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Given a bold ride by Shane Foley, Alpine Star attempted to see them all off by kicking early in the straight and soon plenty were in trouble.
James Fanshawe’s Audarya, who sprang something of a surprise in the Prix Jean Romanet, began to make ground on the far rail while Tarnawa came down the middle of the track.
Alpine Star was still in front with 100 yards to run, but Christophe Soumillon rides Longchamp as well as anyone and had timed his challenge to perfection.
There was a sense of inevitability as Tarnawa was catching with every stride and she got there just in time, meaning Alpine Star was second in her third Group One in a row.
Weld’s son Mark told Sky Sports Racing: “That was a very special performance, it’s very hard to win here in France.
“She won the Vermeille and to come back just three weeks later, she’s a really tough, courageous mare.
“This is always one of the best races - sometimes the best race of Arc weekend, we knew it was going to be tough and we knew the Niarchos filly (Alpine Star) had plenty of Group One form, she was always going to be the one to beat.
“We got there, it was a fantastic performance.”
He added: “We’ll have to discuss her future with His Highness (Aga Khan). She gets a free entry into the Breeders’ Cup, I believe, which is definitely a possibility.
“Whether she comes back next year will be up to His Highness and all the team. It’s fantastic, but she’s won two Group Ones now so we’ll enjoy today.”

Such a good ride! I think for this year, the Prix de l'Opera was even better than the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Amazing ride by the great christoph, Delighted to see weld winning a big race. Pat would be proud of that ride🙏
This one is gonna smash at The Breeders Cup.
Very good horse. Very good jockey. Very good ride. Very good win. Very good bet.
What a ride timed to perfection 👌🏼
She Loves this Place WOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
This was a gun run! serious horse!
Two Irish fillies and one English fill the win, place, & show slots in the Opera, but all three had already posted really solid form lines in France this season prior to this race. The winner Tarnawa was dropping back down in trip to 10F having won the G1 Prix Vermeille over 12F in September. This made the third straight trip over from Ireland to France for Alpine Star, and on all three occasions she finished 2nd, narrowly beaten in all three races. She lost by a short neck in the G1 Prix De Diane to Fancy Blue, was beaten 3/4 lengths by Palace Pier in the G1 Prix Jacques le Marois, and beaten a short neck again by Tarnawa here in the Prix De l'Opera, and the 3rd place finisher, Audarya, came into the race having won the G1 Prix Jean Romanet at Deauville back in late August.
U must be RICH u know lots.
Are you 1 of the LADS ?
U GOT SO MUCH VIDEOS..
TEACH ME HOW TO FIND WINNERS.
TANAWA WAS FANTASTIC..
Was a exceptional race for me better than the arc I csmt believe after her trial run they didn't go for the arc she would have taken all the beating proven at the trip the track and the ground
Another Group 1 for D.Weld. There's life in the old dog yet!
All the talk is about LOVE, never ride this horse off for a minute, she also won the Breeders Cup Turf!
Has to be her or love for the arc
Er weiß wo der Pfosten steht!
Wissen nicht viele🤣👍
I had Alpine Star for treble . Soumillon knee where the lolly pop was .
Future Arc winner
If they keep her in training aga Khan are known for retiring there fillies at 3 years old which is a shame for racing but it makes them most of there money 🤷♂️
33/1 for next years arc. Blown away a horse who finished 5th in this years arc (Raabihah)... beat a quality filly in Alpine Star who’s never finished any further than 3rd and has won once and finished 2nd twice as a group 1. Tarnawa has run in 2 group 1 races and won twice... Aga Khan is notoriously famous for retiring his 3 year old horses but he’s kept her in training... has kept her in training for a reason. Could have easily slotted in this years arc field and not looked out of place. Would have fancied her to challenge. Has won on good and heavy ground so is versatile and has also won on track. Connections didn’t enter her this year because they felt it was a year too early but a real contender for next year. 33/1 a ridiculous price e/w... can’t turn my nose up at her. Sensible stakes if you get on.
Has won over the distance and has won over typical arc conditions 👀✅
Ian Bartlett..👌🏿👌🏿
Boom I backed her great odds cant believe they didn't go for the arc she handles the track found and trip and after watching the arc I think tarnawa would have won it 🤷♂️
She wouldn’t have looked out of place in that field for sure pal. 33/1 for next years arc with another year under her belt is a ridiculous price. All over it. She’s a superstar in training 🐎🌟
@@TheQPRLiam hope you haven't lost your ticket
@@jazzjosen ticket still safe and sound. Managed to get on at 35’s in the end 🤞🏻
Superstar in training 🐎🌟. Get a price on her for next years arc (33/1 e/w) wouldn’t have looked out of place in this years arc field. Will be trouble with another year under her belt.
Good advice!
@@martinlewisloser I’m sitting on a nice boosted slip at 35’s... she’s certainly got a chance 🤞🏻
BACK 4 Arc next. Yr.
So this horse is owned by Aga Khan other mare off a stud then I suppose!
Should have run her in the arc
For sure I think she would have won
She is better at 1m4f than she is 1m2f loves the ground and the track
Agree and the fact they went no pace in the arc and she clearly has a good turn of foot would have suited her down to the ground
Would have been competitive for sure. On her at 33/1 for next years arc. With another year under her belt she’s ridiculously priced.
@@TheQPRLiamthe bad thing there is she runs in breeders cup if she wins don't be surprised if she is retired on the spot sadly
Poor ride by Shane Foley, was schooled there bigtime
