As a result, his trainer elected to run him in the Breeders' Cup Mile on grass, a surface he had won on in England and the United States.

In Excess raced in 1992 at age five, with his best Graded stakes results a second in the San Antonio Handicap, and a third in both the Metropolitan and Carter Handicaps. Retired to stud
