Sir Barton never won again after the match race loss to Man O' War.
He was 3rd as an odds-on favorite at LRL in his next start. Than was 3rd in a $3,600 stake at Pimlico at 2/5 odds. He finished his career, fittingly running 2nd to stablemate Billy Kelly in a stake at Pimlico.
I say fittingly, because Billy Kelly beat Sir Barton nine times in his career.
