He went on to sixth in the Prince of Wales Stakes in Fort Erie, then he returned to form to run second in the Breeders' Stakes.

A well-traveled runner, Sir Dudley Digges went on in later campaigns to win the Old Friends Stakes at Kentucky Downs, and venture all the way to Barbados to win the 2018 Barbados Gold Cup for owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey.
