Maybe is a bay filly with a white star bred in Ireland by Epona Bloodstock Ltd at the Croome House Stud in County Limerick.

As a yearling, Maybe was sent to the Deauville Sales where she was bought for €340,000 by the bloodstock agent Dermot "Demi" O'Byrne, acting on behalf of the Coolmore organisation.

Ridden by Ryan Moore, she took the lead two furlongs from the finish and recorded an "impressive"[4] two and a quarter length victory over Fort Bastion.

In the Group Three Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown in July, Maybe started the 2/7 favourite and won by a neck from La Collina.

Ridden again by Joseph O'Brien, Maybe took the lead two furlongs from the finish and won "comfortably"[6] from Yellow Rosebud and Lightening Pearl.

[7] In late September, Maybe's form was boosted when Lightening Pearl won the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket.
