Teppal is a bay filly with a white star and snip bred in France by the German breeding company Gestut Zur Kuste Ag.
She made her racecourse debut when she started at odds of 11/4 for a maiden race over seven furlongs at Lingfield Park on 30 August and won "cleverly" by a neck from Awesometank after taking the lead in the closing stages.
[7] On 25 September the filly started the 11/10 favourite for a minor race over the same distance on the synthetic polytrack surface at Kempton Park Racecourse.
For her first run of the year the filly was sent to France to contest the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse on 13 May and started at odds of 12/1 in a fourteen-runner field.
She never looked likely to maintain her unbeaten record and finished ninth of the twelve runners behind Alpha Centauri, beaten fourteen and a half lengths by the winner.
[11] After a break of more than three months the filly returned on 7 October in the Prix de la Forêt over 1400 metres at Longchamp in which she was matched against older horses for the first time.
