Audarya (foaled 21 April 2016) is a French-bred British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. After running second in her only start as a juvenile in 2018 she showed promising, but unremarkable form in the following year, winning two minor events and finishing second in a Listed race. As a young four-year-old in 2020 she was well beaten in her first two appearances but then made relentless progress, taking a minor handicap race in early August before moving up to Group 1 class to win the Prix Jean Romanet, finish third in the Prix de l'Opera and win the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf.

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. As a yearling in 2017 the filly was consigned to the Arqana Deauville October Yearlings Sale and was bought for €125,000 by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock.[2] She entered the ownership of Alison Swinburn, and was sent into training with James Fanshawe at the Pegasus Stable in Newmarket, Suffolk.

She was from the fourth crop of foals sired by Wootton Bassett who won the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère in 2010.[3] Wootton Bassett's other foals have included Almanzor and Wooded.[4] Audarya's dam Green Bananas showed durability, but little talent in her six seasons on the track, recording one minor win from 33 starts.[5] Green Bananas' grand-dam Gigawatt was a full-sister to Jim And Tonic and a distant, female-line relative of the Irish Derby winner Prince Regent.[6]
