Prix de l'Opéra
Returning from a break of fourteen months, Reine de Saba returned to run third in a race over 1800 metres and then finished second, beaten half a length by Look Fast in the Prix Ridgway at Deauville Racecourse in August. She finished fourth behind Rusticaro, Trillion and Northern Baby the Prix du Prince d'Orange but then ran unplaced behind Producer when second favourite for the Prix de l'Opéra in October. Later that month she recorded her only success of the year when beating A Thousand Stars by two and a half lengths in the Prix du Point de Jour over 2000 metres at Longchamp. On her final appearance Reine de Saba was sent to California to contest the Grade I Yellow Ribbon Stakes over a mile and a quarter at Santa Anita Park and was a fast-finishing fourth behind Country Queen.
