Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 4, 2020 Journalists Share Posted October 4, 2020 Having won the G1 Prix Vermeille on a quick surface over ParisLongchamp’s 12 furlongs last time Sept. 13, The Aga Khan’s Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal) had to deal with the other extreme and a drop back to 10 furlongs on Sunday but proved up to the task in the G1 Prix de l’Opera Longines. Held up towards the rear early by a confident Christophe Soumillon, the 3-1 shot was brought with her customary withering run down the outer to deny Alpine Star (Ire) (Sea the Moon {Ger}) in the final strides and win by a short neck, with the G1 Prix Jean Romanet winner Audarya (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) 3/4 of a length back in third.
