The owner [[wikipedia: 谷水雄三|Yuzo Tanimizu]], decided to enter Vodka into the Japan Derby as her next race, wanting her to achieve the same victory as her sire, Tanino Gimlet. Furthermore, trainer Katsuhiko Sumii believed that Vodka had the strength to race against older horses. She would become the first filly to race in the Derby since Biwa Heidi in 1996. She went off as the 3rd popular horse, behind favorite Fusaichi Ho O and Satsuki Sho winner, Victory.

She would also scratch from the Queen Elizabeth II Cup due to lameness. Though Vodka won the Japan Derby, she lost to Daiwa Scarlet for JRA Champion 3-year-old Filly, having lost to the filly in 3 of the 4 races they ran in that year. However, Vodka was awarded the JRA Special Award for her Japan Derby victory.
