Lyphard went on to become a very successful breeding stallion in both Europe and North America, siring Three Troikas, Dancing Brave and Manila.
Reine de Saba shared a breeder, owner, trainer and sire with another leading French filly of the same generation, Dancing Maid.
On 21 May the filly was moved up in class and started 11/10 favourite for the Group One Prix Saint-Alary on soft ground over 2100 metres the same course.
She was never seriously challenged, winning by two and a half lengths from the outsider Lys River, with A Thousand Stars taking third ahead of Tempus Fugit and Gayka.
300 metres from the finish she accelerated past the British filly to win by two lengths with Calderina in third ahead of the outsider Paddle.
Later that month she recorded her only success of the year when beating A Thousand Stars by two and a half lengths in the Prix du Point de Jour over 2000 metres at Longchamp.
On her final appearance Reine de Saba was sent to California to contest the Grade I Yellow Ribbon Stakes over a mile and a quarter at Santa Anita Park and was a fast-finishing fourth behind Country Queen.
