After winning both his races as a two-year-old he developed into a top-class performer in 2015, recording Group One victories in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains and the Prix de la Forêt.

On heavy ground at Saint-Cloud Racecourse on 18 November he started 1/2 favourite for the Prix Tanerko over the same distance, and won "comfortably" by two and a half lengths from Lugana.

[6] On his three-year-old debut, Make Believe was ridden by Pierre-Charles Boudot and started favourite for the Grade Three Prix Djebel over 1400 metres at Maisons-Laffitte Racecourse on 2 April.

After pulling hard against Peslier's attempts to restrain him he faded quickly in the last quarter mile and finished last of the five runners, more than twelve lengths behind the winning favourite.

Commenting on the performance some time later, Faisal's racing advisor Ted Voute said "He ran a bit flat at Ascot and Andre has always said he is a delicate horse and that we need to look after him.

[9] Make Believe was off the racecourse for three and a half months before returning on 4 October when he was matched against older horses for the first time in the Prix de la Forêt over 1400 metres at Longchamp.

The other runners included Taniyar (Prix du Pin), Toormore, Gordon Lord Byron (winner of the race in 2012), Custom Cut (Boomerang Stakes), G Force (Haydock Sprint Cup) and Ride Like The Wind.
