[5] Darjina was ridden by Michael Poirier when she made her debut in a minor race over 1600 metres on Saint-Cloud Racecourse on 3 November and won "easily" by one and a half lengths.

[7] Four weeks later she was stepped up in class for the Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over the same course and distance and started the 6.5/1 second favourite behind the Irish filly Finsceal Beo.

[9] In June Darjina was sent to England to contest the Coronation Stakes over one mile at Royal Ascot in which she started at odds of 7/2 and finished third behind Indian Ink and the German 1000 Guineas Mi Emma.

[11] On 9 September Darjina faced top class male opposition for the first time in the Prix du Moulin over 1600 metres at Longchamp and with Soumillon back in the saddle she was made the 4.5/1 third choice in the betting behind George Washington and Ramonti.

[12][13] Three weeks later the filly was sent to Ascot for the second time to contest the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes but ran poorly and came home last of the seven runners behind Ramonti.

[14] On her four-year-old debut, Darjina was sent to the United Arab Emirates to contest the Dubai Duty Free over 1900 metres at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse on 29 March.

Starting at odds of 5/1 in a field which included Bullish Luck, Creachadoir, Finsceal Beo and Vodka she took the lead in the closing stages but was caught on the line and beaten half a length by the 50/1 outsider Jay Peg.

[15] In the Prix du Moulin on 7 September Darjina was matched against Goldikova again with the same result: she was beaten half a length into second with Paco Boy, Sageburg, Henrythenavigator and Natagora finishing behind.
