Prix Lupin
On his first appearance as a three-year-old, Right Royal was beaten in the Prix de Fontainebleau in April, after being given a questionable ride by Roger Poincelet. He then re-established himself as the best colt in France by winning the Poule d'Essai des Poulains, the Prix Lupin and the Prix du Jockey Club. In the Prix du Jockey Club he won by three lengths from Match at odds of 9/5.
