マンノウォーステークス
In the Irish Derby at the Curragh a month later, Empery started 5/4 favourite but finished second, beaten two and a half lengths by another French colt, the François Boutin-trained Malacate. He was then aimed at the Benson &amp; Hedges Gold Cup at York in August, but missed the race after sustaining an injury on the eve of the race. In autumn, Empery was sent to the United States to contest the Man o' War Stakes at Belmont Park. He did not thrive in quarantine however, reportedly losing fifty pounds in three days and failed to recover in time for the race. He was then retired to stud.
