Olivier Peslier
For her next three races, Elusive Kate was sent to compete in France, beginning with the Prix Six Perfections at Deauville Racecourse on 30 July. Ridden by Olivier Peslier, she won by one and half lengths from Pestagua. Elusive Kate returned to Deauville three weeks later and was moved up in class to contest the Group Three Prix du Calvados over 1400 metres. She started the 19/10 favourite and led from the start to win "comfortably" by one and a half lengths from Mashoora.
