On 12 June at the Guildford meeting, Election won both heats of the King's Plate "cleverly" from Mr. Dilly's horse Gnat-Ho!, who carried two extra pounds than Election in both four-mile heats. Election was entered in the £100 Plate at Brighton, which was supposed to be run on Friday, 27 July, but due to "one of the greatest storms ever witnessed at Brighton" the running was postponed to the following day. Election beat Mr. Ladbroke's horse Guardy who "bolted" in the four-mile race. On 2 August at Lewes, Election won the 100-guinea King's Plate against the horse Discount, winning both four-mile heats. The next day, Election again was pitted against Mr. Ladbroke's horse Guardy in a 100-guinea sweepstakes race, winning the race after Guardy again "bolted" in the race. On 4 August, Election walked over for the four-mile, 60-guinea Ladies' Plate. On 1 June at the Guildford meeting, Election walked over for the King's Purse. At Lewes on 1 August, Election lost the 100-guinea King's Plate to the four-year-old colt Wildboy. Election won the first heat "with much difficulty," was second in the second heat and was disqualified in the deciding heat due to falling during the running. The next day, Election was second, and last, in the Ladies' Plate to the horse Scorpion who "won easy." Election was retired to stud in 1812 and first stood at the Royal Stud at Hampton-court for a fee of 10 guineas per mare. Election died in June 1821 at Euston Hall of "inflammation." He proved to be a successful stallion, with his progeny including the Classic winning colts Manfred (2000 Guineas) and Gustavus (Derby). Four years after his death he was Champion sire in the year that his daughter Tontine won the 1,000 Guineas.
