In many ways, the seven-furlong G1 Qatar Prix de la Foret around ParisLongchamp's bends was tailor-made for Maranoa Charlie (Wootton Bassett) and with the all-important draw and testing ground in his favour he was able to produce a career-defining performance on what looks to be his swansong. While this is a 'Win And You're In' for the Breeders' Cup Mile, the chances are we have seen the last of Bond Thoroughbred's high-powered cruiser who had so long promised to live up to his status as a TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard. Always full of energy on the front end under Aurelien Lemaitre, the 9-2 shot who had been placed in the Prix Jean Prat and City Of York kicked decisively in the straight en route to a 1 1/4-length success from The Aga Khan Studs homebred Zarigana (Siyouni). “He is definitely the best horse I've trained–he is so good,” Christopher Head said. “He has something else. It's incredible to deal with that kind of strategy throughout his three-year-old season and come back and do this. He could be one of best stallions around in the future. He goes on any ground, so I need to talk to the owners to see what they want to do but this could be the end of the road. What a road it's been, I've loved it! It was insane!” Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France QATAR PRIX DE LA FORET-G1, €350,000, ParisLongchamp, 10-5, 3yo/up, 7fT, 1:20.80, vsf. 1–MARANOA CHARLIE (FR), 126, c, 3, by Wootton Bassett (GB) 1st Dam: Koubalibre (Ire), by Galileo (Ire) 2nd Dam: Kheleyf's Silver (Ire), by Kheleyf 3rd Dam: Silver Arrow, by Shadeed TDN Rising Star. 1ST GROUP 1 WIN.

Sunday's G1 Prix de l'Opera Longines had an open feel beforehand and there was a predictable bunch finish with Alpha Racing's Barnavara (Calyx) hanging on to clinch victory from See The Fire (Sea The Stars). Sent forward by Shane Foley to dictate, the Jessica Harrington-trained three-year-old who had been impressive in last month's Blandford kept digging in as threats emerged on either side to prevail by a short neck at 9-1. Less than a length covered the first five home, with One Look (Gleneagles) getting third, a short head behind See The Fire. This is an automatic qualifier for the Maker's Mark Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf. “This was always my main ride today and she has improved all year,” Foley said. “She wears her heart on her sleeve and I've been saying all year she's very good–she's just learning how to relax and race now. She was a big girl at two and has matured now.” Sunday, ParisLongchamp, France PRIX DE L'OPERA LONGINES-G1, €500,000, ParisLongchamp, 10-5, 3yo/up, f/m, 10fT, 2:05.52, vsf. 1–BARNAVARA (IRE), 123, f, 3, by Calyx (GB) 1st Dam: Alfea (GB), by Kentucky Dynamite 2nd Dam: Askania Nova (Ire), by New Approach (Ire) 3rd Dam: Bal De La Rose (Ire), by Cadeaux Genereux (GB) 1ST GROUP 1 WIN.

Producing a stirring finale to Sunday's G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, The Aga Khan Studs runner Daryz (Sea The Stars) wore down Ballydoyle's star filly Minnie Hauk (Frankel) to cap a stellar season for Francis-Henri Graffard. Having been given an unorthodox preparation for this monument which culminated in a close second to Croix Du Nord (Kitasan Black) in the G3 Prix du Prince d'Orange, the 16-1 shot followed swooped off the pace set by the Japanese challenger with just the triple Oaks-winning 5-2 favourite to catch. Minnie Hauk looked to have sealed a treble for O'Brien and Soumillon everywhere bar the last 50 metres, where Mickael Barzalona was able to conjure a decisive surge to earn a head success. Sosie (Sea The Stars) was 5 1/2 lengths away in third. This was the first Arc winner in these famed colours since Zarkava in 2008 and the first since the passing of the The Aga Khan IV. “We've always held him in high regard and he came back a lot stronger from [the Juddmonte International at] York, which was a messy race,” Barzalona said. “He was very relaxed today, travelled very well and quickened up well. I knew Minnie Hauk would give me a tough race, but my horse is very talented. It is a big privilege to ride for The Aga Khan Studs and be part of this team.” Graffard added, “That was a great horse race and everything worked to plan,” he said. “The spirit of the horse at the end! This is special.” The post Daryz Prevails In Epic Arc Tussle With Minnie Hauk appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
