Prix Niel
Kahyasi prepared for a run in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe by contesting the Prix Niel at Longchamp in September. He suffered the first defeat of his career as he was beaten a neck by the Grand Prix de Paris winner Fijar Tango. In the Arc three weeks later, Kahyasi finished sixth of the twenty-four runners, beaten just over two lengths by Tony Bin.
