After another minor win he contested the Group Three Prix du Pin over 1400 metres at Longchamp Racecourse in September and finished unplaced behind Northern Taste.
In France, horses in the same ownership are coupled for betting purposes and Gravelines was made 5/2 second favourite together with his more highly regarded stablemate Monsanto, who had been runner-up to Grundy in the Irish 2000 Guineas.
He was coupled in the betting with his stablemate El Rastro and started 2/1 favourite against twelve opponents including Full of Hope, Vitiges, Manado, Donna Barod, Girl Friend and the St James's Palace Stakes winner Radetzky.
The race produced a blanket finish, with the first seven home covered by less than a length, but Gravelines prevailed by a head from Radetzky and Vitiges, who dead-heated for second, with Manado, Ellora, Avaray and El Rastro just behind.
With Saint-Martin resuming the ride, the grey colt started 7/10 favourite, coupled with Monsanto and the Prix Jean Prat winner Earth Spirit, against a field which included Avaray, Manado, Ellora, Son of Silver and Dona Barod.
Fifteen days later, the horse contested the Grade III Canadian Turf Handicap over eight and a half furlongs and won from Proponent and Lord Layabout.
