Singapore Airlines International Cup
On 7 July, Medicean was one of eight horses to contest the 104th running of the Eclipse Stakes at Sandown. His opponents included Grandera, Tobougg, Black Minnaloushe (winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes) and Endless Hall (winner of the Singapore Airlines International Cup). Racing over ten furlongs for the second time in his racing career, Medicean was held up by Fallon at the back of the field as a very strong pace was set by Broche and Darwin. Medicean moved into contention in the straight, but came under pressure and appeared to be struggling before rallying in the closing stages to win by half a length from Grandera, with Bach in third place. At York Racecourse in August Medicean started 3/1 second favourite for the International Stakes over ten and a half furlongs and finished third of the eight runners, eight lengths behind the winner Sakhee.
