The highlights of 2016 included several notable wins on Tepin, including the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. Leparoux was also invited to ride Sir Dudley Digges in Canada's most prestigious event, the Queen's Plate at Woodbine racetrack on July 3. He rode in 11 races at Churchill Downs the day before the race, then flew to Toronto with only a few hours of sleep and won at odds of 16-1. Leparoux rode Classic Empire to victory in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
