Audarya

Audarya is a bay mare with no white markings bred in France by the Boucé, Orne-based Haras d'Ecouves a breeding farm owned by Francois Doumen.

Ridden by George Wood she raced in mid-division before producing a strong late run but narrowly failed to catch the favourite Lady Adelaide finishing second by a nose.

[9] For her final race of the year the filly was sent to France and stepped up in class for the Listed Prix Coronation over 1600 metres at Saint-Cloud Racecourse on 18 September and finished second of the twelve runners, beaten two lengths by the winner Alzire after staying on well in the closing stages.

On her seasonal debut Audarya finished eighth of the fourteen runners behind Nazeef in the Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes over one mile on Kempton's polytrack on 3 June making good progress in the closing stages.

At Pontefract Racecourse in July she started 9/2 third choice in the betting for the Pipalong Stakes but ran disappointingly to come home in sixth place behind Romola, beaten more than eight lengths by the winner.

On 2 August Audarya was dropped back in class for a handicap over ten furlongs on the Tapeta surface at Newcastle Racecourse in which she was assigned a weight of 140 pounds and started at odds of 12/1.

[10] Three weeks later the filly was sent to France and moved up sharply in class to contest the Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet over 2000 metres on soft ground at Deauville Racecourse in which she was ridden by Ioritz Mendizabal.

Rushing Fall took the lead in the straight but Audarya, having been switched to the outsite by Boudot, produced a sustained run, overtook the favourite in the final strides and won by a neck.
