Coeursamba

Coeursamba began her racing career on 25 May when she finished second to Madouss in a contest for previously unraced fillies over 1200 metres at Lyon Parilly Racecourse. Over the same distance at Saint-Cloud Racecourse on 30 June she started at odds of 6.2/1 for a maiden race on good to soft ground and recorded her first success as she won by one and a quarter lengths from Jubilation.[7] The filly was then stepped up in class and distance for the Group 3 Prix Six Perfections over 1400 metres at Deauville Racecourse on 1 August and came home third behind See The Rose and Wedding Dance, finishing a length behind the winner. On 10 September at Longchamp Racecourse she started favourite for the Group 3 Prix d'Aumale but finished third again, beaten one and a half lengths and half a length by King's Harlequin and Harajuku.[8]

On 3 October as Saint-Cloud, Coeursamba was put up for auction at Saint-Cloud and was bought for €400,000 by Haras du Saubouas on behalf of Abdullah bin Fahad Al Attiyah.[9] On the following afternoon at Longchamp the filly ran in her new colours for the first time and finished fifth of the twelve runners behind Tiger Tanaka in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac, staying on well in the closing stages.[10] On her final run of the year Coeursamba came home fourth behind the British-trained favourite Lullaby Moon in the Group 3 Prix Miesque at Chantilly Racecourse on 31 October.

On her first appearance of 2021 Coeursamba finished third behind Tahlie and Alula Borealis in the Prix du Louvre over 1600 metres at Longchamp on 22 April. On 16 May the filly went off a 38/1 outsider for the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches over 1600 metres on very soft ground at Longchamp. Mother Earth started favourite, while the other eleven contenders included Tiger Tanaka, Lullaby Moon, King's Harlequin, See The Rose, Philomene (Prix Penelope), Rougir (Prix des Reservoirs) and Reina Madre (Prix Imprudence). Demuro positioned Coeursamba in mid-division on the inside rail as the outsider Stardevote set the pace before driving her way between rivals to join the leaders in the straight. She got the better of Mother Earth inside the last 100 metres and prevailed by a length.[11] After the race Jean-Claude Rouget said: "It's a very pleasant surprise and what I loved was that she showed that double acceleration you associate with the good horses; that makes it very interesting for the rest of the season. She went back to her owners' farm over the winter and we were in no rush to have her out this spring as she had plenty of experience at two. I decided to give her a quiet comeback and make sure she didn't have a hard race. After that, everything worked out because she had a good draw and she is streetwise."[12]

Coeursamba was moved up in distance for the Prix de Diane over 2100 metres at Chantilly on 20 June. She never looked likely to win after being denied a clear run in the straight and came home eleventh of the seventeen runners, four lengths behind the Irish-trained winner Joan of Arc.[13] On 24 June it was announced that Coeursamba had been bought by Katsumi Yoshida of Northern Farm.[14] At Deauville in August Coeursamba was matched against older fillies and mares in the Prix Rothschild over 1600 metres. She raced in mid-division before staying on well in the closing stages to come home sixth of the fourteen runners behind Mother Earth. In the Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp in October she finished eighth behind Real World, beaten almost fifteen lengths by the winner.
