	On June 2nd, it was then announced that El Condor Pasa would retire by the end of the year to perform stud duty at Shadai Stallion Farm<ref name=":1" />. Though he was set to compete in the Prince of Wales Stakes, a G2 race in England, it was decided to have him stay in France. A month later, on July 4th, El Condor Pasa challenged another G1 race, the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Running within the pack, he began to break out of the pack in the final straight and won by two lengths, making the race his first overseas victory.

	However, shortly after the race, it was discovered that not only did El Condor Pasa have two wounds on his right leg, but those wounds were also infected by bacteria, causing inflammation<ref name=":1" />. Because of this, his training continued in August instead of late July as planned. He then competed in the Prix Foy (G2) on September 12th, where due to the poor track condition, only three horses, himself included, participated the race. He overtook Borgia who was ahead of him and won the race by a neck, achieving his final overseas victory.

	On October 3rd, El Condor Pasa challenged his final race, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. At the time of the race, the track's condition was at its worst as holes were sighted over the racecourse but it didn't stopped the horses from racing. Leading the pack, El Condor Pasa continued to accelerate throughout the race. However, [[IRL:Montjeu\|Montjeu]], who was behind him, gradually began to advance and overtake the other horses. Despite widening the gap, Montjeu quickly caught up to him in the homestretch, causing El Condor Pasa to lose by half a length. Despite this loss however, non-Japanese fans cheered him on from the stands for his efforts against Montjeu<ref>Yushun Magazine November 1999</ref>. Montjeu's trainer, John E. Hammond, also stated that El Condor Pasa would have won if the track was firm since Montjeu's specialty was soft or heavy tracks.
