Prix Lupin
On 3 June at Chantilly, Le Marmot was matched against Top Ville the winner of the Prix de Guiche and the Prix Lupin in the Group One Prix du Jockey Club over 2400 m at Chantilly. Starting the 6/4 second favourite, he was outpaced when Top Ville went more than three lengths clear of the field in the straight but closed the gap in the last 300 m to finish second by a length, with Sharpman five lengths back in third.
