She inherited her grey coat from her sire Fortino, a French sprinter whose wins included the Prix de l'Abbaye as a three-year-old in 1962.

[4] Pidget began her second season by winning the Spring Stakes over seven furlongs at Baldoyle Racecourse, beating French Oyster by three quarters of a length.

She was then moved up in class to contest the Group 3 Athasi Stakes over the same distance at the Curragh in April and was beaten two lengths into second place by the Vincent O'Brien-trained favourite Arkadina.

The betting saw Arkadina made the 7/4 favourite ahead of Princess Bonita (fourth in the English 1000 Guineas) and Klairlone (winner of the Mulcahy Stakes) whilst Pidget started a 20/1 outsider in a sixteen-runner field.

Ridden by Wally Swinburn she tracked the leaders before overtaking Arkadina to gain the advantage three furlongs out and although the favourite rallied strongly, Pidget stayed on well to win by half a length.

[4] Pidget was moved up in distance when she was sent to England to contest the Oaks Stakes over one and a half miles at Epsom Racecourse on 10 June but made little impression on the race and finished eighth behind Ginevra.

[4] On 2 September Pidget was sent to France for a strongly-contested edition of the Prix de la Nonette over 2100 metres at Longchamp Racecourse and finished unplaced behind Rescousse.
