In 1963 Monade ran well in several major races. When returning to the scene of her Oaks triumph she was unplaced behind Exbury in the Coronation Cup but ran better later in June when she came home second to Manderley in the Prix d'Ispahan. She was on top form at Deauville in August where she won the Prix de Pomone and finished second to Hula Dancer in the Prix Jacques le Marois. In the following month she recorded her second important success of the season when she upset the Epsom Derby winner Relko to take La Coupe de Maisons-Laffitte.
