Vitigès' dam Valé, won at least two races and produced several other winners including Virunga, who finished third behind Allez France and Dahlia in the Prix de Diane.
After finishing second on his debut, Vitiges won two minor races before being moved up in class to contest the Group One Prix Robert Papin over 1100 metres at Maisons-Laffitte Racecourse on 27 July.
Racing down the centre of the course, he took the lead 200 metres from the finish and drew away to win by three lengths from the British-trained filly Western Jewel, with Policrock in third and Roan Star in fourth.
The Australian jockey Bill Pyers took over the ride on Vitiges when the colt contested France's premier race for two-year-olds, the Grand Critérium over 1600 metres at Longchamp on 5 October.
In a change of tactic, he was restrained in the early stages before moving forward on the final turn but was unable to maintain his challenge and finished fifth of the eleven runners behind Manado, one place ahead of the future Epsom Derby winner Empery.
On 18 July, Vitiges started the 5.2/1 third favourite for the Prix Eugène Adam over 2000 metres at Saint-Cloud Racecourse but finished sixth of the fourteen runners, five and a half lengths behind the winner Crow.
Racing against specialist sprinters, he started favourite but after leading for 1000 metres he was overtaken and finished fourth of the ten runners behind Kala Shikari, Raga Navarro and Mendip Man.
In October, Vitiges, ridden by the first time by the Irish jockey Pat Eddery started a 22/1[5] outsider for the Champion Stakes over ten furlongs at Newmarket.
He finished fourth behind the filly Heaven Knows in the Earl of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket in April and then ran tenth of the twelve runners behind Arctic Tern in the Prix Ganay on 1 May.
Later that month he was equipped with blinkers in the Clive Graham Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse but showed no improvement as he finished third behind Lucky Wednesday and Norfolk Air.
