[3] Bold Ruler was foaled at the same farm, on the same night, and both stallions won American Horse of the Year honors in their respective careers, returning to Claiborne to stand at stud.

Round Table's most significant win as a two-year-old came in October 1956, when he won the Breeders' Futurity Stakes at Keeneland Race Course.

On February 9, 1957, Claiborne Farm owner Arthur B. Hancock Jr. sold Round Table after his second start of the three-year-old season to Oklahoma oilman Travis M. Kerr.

Retired at the end of the 1959 racing season to stand at stud at Claiborne Farm, Round Table was the leading sire in North America in 1972.

[7] He sired 83 stakes winners including He's A Smoothie, Baldric, Apalachee, Artaius, Cellini, Advocator, Flirting Around, King's Bishop, and Poker,[8] who was the damsire of two Hall of Fame inductees, Seattle Slew and Silver Charm.

[10] His worldwide reputation both in racing and as a sire was so great that when Queen Elizabeth II visited Kentucky in 1984, she asked to see the 30-year-old horse.
