My Emma was then sent to France for the Prix de Psyché over 2000 metres at Deauville Racecourse on 10 August. Ridden for the first time Cash Asmussen she appeared to have every chance in the straight but finished third, beaten a short neck and three quarters of a length by the André Fabre-trained fillies Sangria and Binary. Despite her defeat, My Emma returned to France for the Group One Prix Vermeille (then a race confined to three-year-old fillies) over 2400 metres at Longchamp Racecourse on 15 September. The Prix Marcel Boussac winner Miss Tahiti started favourite whilst My Emma, with Asmussen again in the saddle was the 29/1 outsider in the ten-runner field. The other contenders included Luna Wells (Prix Saint-Alary), Papering (runner-up in the Nassau Stakes and the Yorkshire Oaks), Shamadara (Prix de Malleret), Zafzala (Ballyroan Stakes), Tulipa (Ribblesdale Stakes) and Bint Salsabil (Rockfel Stakes). Asmussen settled the filly in fifth as Papering set the pace before moving up on the inside in the straight. In a blanket finish, she took the lead inside the last 100 metres and won by a head from Papering with the subsequently disqualified Zafzala a head away in third. Miss Tahiti was a short neck away in fourth, just ahead of Leonila and Luna Wells.
