2013: two-year-old season

Vorda began her racing career in the Prix Caravelle over 1000 metres at Chantilly Racecourse on 29 April. Ridden by François-Xavier Bertras, she started a 13.6/1 outsider and won by one and a half lengths from Aventure Love and six others.^[6] A majority share in the filly was then sold to Gerard Augustin-Normand. Gregory Benoist took over the ride when the filly was moved up in class and started 1.6/1 favourite for the Listed Prix La Flèche over the same distance at Maisons-Laffitte Racecourse on 11 June. After being restrained towards the rear of the seven-runner field she quickened to take the lead in the last 200 metres and won "comfortably" by one and three quarter lengths from the colt Muharaaj.^[7] On 21 July at the same track, the filly was stepped up in class and distance for the Group Two Prix Robert Papin over 1100 metres. She was made the 3/1 favourite ahead of the Prix du Bois winner Vedeux, whilst the other contenders included the British challengers Extortionist (Windsor Castle Stakes) and Ambiance (Dragon Stakes). Benoist settled the favourite behind the leaders as the Italian-trained filly Omaticaya set the pace, before moving forward 300 metres from the finish. Vorda took the lead in the closing stages and drew ahead to win by one and a half lengths and a short neck from Omaticaya and Vedeux.^[8] After the race Sogorb commented "She has just improved with every run and she does everything so easily".^[9]

On 18 August at Deauville Racecourse Vorda was moved up in class and distance again for the Group One Prix Morny over 1200 metres and started favourite ahead of the American-trained No Nay Never and the British filly Rizeena. After being held up as usual by Benoist she kept on well in the last 300 metres without ever looking likely to win and finished second, a length behind No Nay Never.^[10] Following the race, the filly was bought by the Qatari Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani. On her next appearance, Vorda returned to all-female competition and was sent to England for the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes over six furlongs at Newmarket Racecourse on 28 September. Ridden by Olivier Peslier she started the 11/8 favourite ahead of the Albany Stakes winner Kiyoshi, whilst the other five runners included Joyeuse (Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes), Come To Heel (Curragh Stakes) and Princess Noor (Princess Margaret Stakes). Peslier tracked the leaders before making a forward move approaching the final furlong. She overtook Princess Noor in the closing stages and won by three quarters of a length with Kiyoshi and Come To Heel in third and fourth.^[11][12] Interviewed after the race, Sogorb said "From the very beginning I knew I had a good filly... She stood out from the rest, she was better than average but I didn't imagine I had a Group 1 winner".^[13] The former jockey added "I regret not being able to ride her myself".^[14]

For her final appearance as a two-year-old, Vorda was sent to the United States to contest the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf over one mile at Santa Anita Park on 1 November. She was made the 11/4 favourite, but after racing on the outside for most of the way she made no impression in the closing stages and finished seventh behind the British-trained Chriselliam.^[15]

2014: three-year-old season

Vorda failed to win in 2014, when she was ridden in all five of her races by Christophe Lemaire. On her seasonal debut she contested the Prix Imprudence (a trial race for both the 1000 Guineas and the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches) over 1400 metres at Maisons-Laffitte on 3 April. After taking the lead 200 metres from the finish she was caught in the final strides and beaten a short neck by the François Doumen-trained Xcellence, with the favourite Miss France in sixth. On 4 April Vorda returned to Newmarket for the 201st running of the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile. She started at odds of 14/1 and never threatened to reproduce her Cheveley Park success, finishing eighth of the seventeen runners behind Miss France. In July she ran fourth to the German seven-year-old in the Group Three Prix de la Porte Maillot and in the following month she finished fifth behind the British colt Garswood in the Group One Prix Maurice de Gheest. Vorda's final race was the Group One Prix de la Forêt over 1400 metres at Longchamp Racecourse on 5 October. Starting a 16/1 outsider she stayed on well to take fourth place, two and a quarter lengths behind the winner Olympic Glory.^[16]
