The G1 Qatar Prix Vermeille (2400m) is one of multiple feature races this Sunday at Longchamp for three-year-olds and above fillies and mares only. ​It is recognised as the final leg of the three-year-old filly's triple crown with the other two races being the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and Prix de Diane. ​The last three-year-old filly to complete the treble was Zarkava in 2008. She then went on to win the Arc three weeks later. We preview this year's renewal.
