choice for the win, with Gallifet being the favorite. Gallifet and The Chevalier were clear contenders from the start of the race, with Macbeth not gaining a lead until a mile into the race. He won by a length over Gallifet at 6:1 odds, winning $4,740 for Hankins. Macbeth II, being a gelding with no possible career at stud, raced until he was eight years old. His performance later in his career may have been hampered by an illness in the winter of 1888-1889. As an older horse, he was used for training new exercise riders due to his gentleness. He was noted as running in an 1890 claiming race at Sheepshead Bay Race Track in New York. In October 1890, Hankins dispersed his stable, after which Macbeth went through a succession of owners. He most notably won the 1891 New Year's Handicap at Clifton for William Angel. Macbeth was trained for steeplechasing in 1894 after his flat-racing career, but never started over jumps. A 1910 Daily Racing Form article states that Macbeth was purchased as a saddle horse by a gentleman that lived in Chicago and was often seen in Lincoln Park with his new owner. He is reported to have died at an advanced age.
