クリストフ・スミヨン
Sahpresa did not appear as a five-year-old until June, when she finished eighth of the ten runners behind Strawberrydaiquiri in the Windsor Forest Stakes at Royal Ascot. She did not race again until September, when she contested the Group Three Prix du Pin over 1,400 metres at Longchamp. Ridden by Christophe Soumillon she was positioned behind the leaders before being switched to the outside in the straight. She took the lead 100 metres from the finish and won comfortably by one and a half lengths from Dalghar. Soumillon was again in the saddle when Sahpresa ran in her second Sun Chariot Stakes on 2 October. Racing on soft ground and starting at odds of 9/2 she was restrained at the back of the eleven runners before moving up to take the lead inside the final furlong. She won "readily" by one and three-quarter lengths from Strawberrydaiquiri and Rainfall. Collet called her performance "very impressive, maybe even more than last year I think."
