She won her first race in September at Vichy over twelve furlongs, and added a further two victories [2] before being transferred to Ireland and put into training with Champion Trainer Willie Mullins.

She returned to France to run in the Prix Alain du Breil at Auteuil, where she finished third (just behind stablemate and future Champion Hurdler Hurricane Fly) before being put away for the season.

Racing in midfield, Quevega made rapid progress from the third last hurdle and stormed up the hill to win impressively by fourteen lengths, giving Walsh his first winner of the week.

[6] Quevega once again made her seasonal debut at the Cheltenham Festival when attempting to win a third consecutive Mares Hurdle despite being “a gallop short” according to her trainer.

[7] Her sternest opponent was probably Warfield Mares' Hurdle winner Sparky May, but Quevega showed she was different class in winning by ten lengths virtually unextended.

A return to Punchestown saw her win a second World Series Hurdle despite a bad mistake at the last, beating Mourad one and a quarter lengths with Coral Cup winner Carlito Brigante third and Voler La Vedette in fourth.

[1] Quevega made a bid for a four-timer in the Mares Hurdle off a similar prolonged break as the previous two years, and again was rated a short priced favourite to do so.

[9] After reigning World Hurdler Big Buck's suffered a season-ending injury, there was speculation that Quevega might attempt to win that race rather than go for a five-timer in the Mares Hurdle and she was made favourite accordingly.

She progressed to fifth place approaching the last, before coming with a late burst to beat the French mare Sirene D’Ainay in the final half furlong.

[13] On May 1 Quevega attempted to win the World Series Hurdle at Punchestown for the fifth straight year but despite rallying over the last, she went down by a length and a quarter to 20/1 shot Jetson, ridden by Davy Russell.
