He made his next start on September 10, winning Del Mar's Live the Dream Stakes by five lengths and in October won the Grade 1 Oak Tree Invitational Stakes at a mile and a half, [2] earning US$180,000, which was roughly $68,000 more than his total earnings from his previous fourteen lifetime starts.
He ran fifth to winner Marvelous Crown in a field of international stars which included Fraise, Jeune, Paradise Creek, and Raintrap.
He finished second to Northern Spur in October's Oak Tree Invitational Stakes and did not compete in the Breeders' Cup since he was ineligible.
[7] Ten months after he won his last race, Sandpit returned to the winner's circle on May 27, 1996, when he defeated Northern Spur by 3½ lengths in the Hollywood Turf Handicap.
On September 4, fourteen-year-old Sandpit died at the Hagyard-Davidson-McGee equine clinic near Lexington as a result of liver disease and a cancerous tumor.
