Ervedya

[5] On 3 August, the filly was stepped up in class for the Group Three Prix de Cabourg over 1200 metres at Deauville Racecourse and started at odds of 6/1 in an eight-runner field.

After being restrained by Soumillon in the early stages she finished strongly to take third place behind the colts The Wow Signal (from England) and Hootenanny (from the United States).

On her final appearance of the season Ervedya contested the Prix Marcel Boussac over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse on 5 October and started second favourite behind the Irish filly Found.

[7] On 10 May Ervedya was stepped back up to Group One class for the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over 1600 metres at Longchamp and started favourite against thirteen opponents.

Ridden with great confidence by Soumillon, Ervedya raced at the rear of the field before accelerating into the lead in the last 200 metres and winning comfortably by three quarters of a length from the British-trained outsider Irish Rookie.

She overtook Found inside the final furlong and won by a neck with Lucida a half length back in third ahead of the outsider Miss Temple City.

She started the odds on favourite but after taking the lead 300 metres from the finish she was overtaken in the closing stages and beaten one and a quarter lengths by the British-trained four-year-old Amazing Maria.

The Group One Prix du Moulin over 1600 metres at Longchamp on 13 September saw Ervedya start odds-on favourite ahead of the Breeders' Cup Mile winner Karakontie.

[14] On 1 May at Saint-Cloud Racecourse Ervedya began her third campaign by starting odds-on favourite for the Prix du Muguet and finished second, beaten three and a half lengths by the five-year-old Vadamos.

In the Prix Jacques Le Marois over 1600 metres at Deauville in August she came from well off the pace to finish third behind Ribchester and Vadamos with Esoterique and Galileo Gold among the other beaten horses.
