Stewards' Cup
On his debut as a twelve-year-old the gelding was sent to Musselburgh for a race named in his honour, the Borderlescott Sprint Trophy. He took the lead inside the final furlong but was caught in the last stride and beaten a short head by the four-year-old Smoothtalkinrascal. He finished unplaced in his next six races (including a final bid for the Stewards' Cup) before ending the year with a second place at Musselburgh in October.
