	Orfevre only ran 4 times in 2013, where he started with a victory at the Sankei Osaka Hai in March 31st. Once again, he was sent to France with Soumillon as his jockey. Just like last year, Orfevre won the Prix Foy but not the l'Arc, which this time was won by the 3 years-old [[IRL:Treve\|Treve]].

	A boy with cancer, who adored Orfevre, was once arranged to meet the horse in person by Ikezoe (who proceeded to ride on him in his racing silk). Orfevre displayed an unusual soft side by allowing the boy to touch him as much as he liked, Ikezoe proceeded to make a promise to win Orfevre's retirement race - the 2013 Arima Kinen. Unfortunately, the boy passed away two weeks before Orfevre's last race. However, Orfevre won the 2013 Arima Kinen with an overwhelming lead, with Ikezoe looking into the sky after the win and, according to him, murmured the words "we won", honoring the win to the boy who adored Orfevre.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT1iGhQ00RA&t=2601s "Once There’s A Horse Called Orfevre…" by Mhybe]</ref>		A boy with cancer, who adored Orfevre, was once arranged to meet the horse in person by Ikezoe (who proceeded to ride on him in his racing silk).
