Prix Morny
As a two-year-old, La Farina contested the prestigious Prix Morny at Deauville Racecourse but was beaten by Sardanapale a colt owned by Edouard de Rothchild's cousin Maurice de Rothschild. In the following month he recorded his first major victory when he won the colts' division of the Prix La Rochette over 1100 metres at Longchamp Racecourse.
