In July, the filly was sent back to England to run in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot Racecourse.

Up against not only males, but older horses as well, Pawneese defeated a field that included the 1975 St. Leger Stakes winner, Bruni.

No French-trained horse would win the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes for another thirty years until Hurricane Run accomplished the feat in 2006.

Her victory was memorialized by noted equine artist Richard Stone Reeves in his painting titled Pawneese defeats Bruni and Orange Boy.

Retired to broodmare duty, Pawneese produced at least five foals before she died at age twenty-four on 18 March 1997 at Coolmore Stud in Ireland.
