Gran Premio di Milano
Falbrav won another minor event on his four-year-old debut. From that point on, he began to show vastly improved form. In May he won the Group 1 Premio Presidente della Repubblica, taking the lead a furlong from home and beating the odds-on Godolphin colt Ekraar by one and a quarter lengths. A month later, Falbrav again defeated a Godolphin challenger, winning the Gran Premio di Milano by three lengths from Narrative.
