As a yearling she was put up for auction at the Goffs Sale and was bought for €30,000 by Skymarc Farm Inc.[3] She entered the ownership of Lady O'Reilly and was sent into training with Dermot Weld at the Curragh, County Kildare.
Eleven days later she started at odds of 5/2 for a similar event at Navan Racecourse and finished fifth, more than ten lengths behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained favourite Kissed.
Voleuse de Coeurs began her second season in a maiden over ten and a half furlongs at Dundalk Racecourse in April in which she stayed on well in straight but was beaten a neck into second by the colt Ursa Major.
[8] Pat Smullen had ridden Voleuse de Coeurs in all her races up to this point but Leigh Roche took over the ride when the filly contested the Irish Cesarewitch over two miles on heavy ground at the Curragh on 14 October.
On 19 May she was moved back up in distance for the Listed Vintage Crop Stakes over 1+3⁄4 miles at Navan and started 7/4 second choice in the betting behind El Salvador with the best of the other runners appearing to be the high-class hurdler Steps To Freedom.
Smullen restrained the filly in the early stages before moving up to take the lead a furlong out at which point Voleuse de Coeurs "forged clear" to win by two lengths from Missunited.
[12] The filly made her first appearance at Group level on 30 June in the Curragh Cup for which she started favourite but came home third behind Ernest Hemingway and Royal Diamond.
After a break of almost seven weeks, Voleuse de Coeurs faced Ernest Hemingway and Royal Diamond in the Irish St Leger Trial Stakes at the Curragh on 24 August.
Chris Hayes took the ride when Voleuse de Coeurs contested the Group 1 Irish St. Leger at the Curragh on 15 September and started at odds of 9/1 in a ten-runner field.
