Rather than beginning her career in a maiden race, Nightime made her debut in the Group Three C L Weld Park Stakes, a race named in honour of Dermot Weld's father (and Marguerite's husband), over seven furlongs at the Curragh on 1 October.
On 28 May Nightime was stepped up to Group One class and started at odds of 12/1 in a fifteen-runner field for the Irish 1000 Guineas over one mile on heavy ground at the Curragh.
