Rider and horse next won August's Prix du Haras de la Huderie at Deauville-La Touques Racecourse. The colt did not race again until September 1989 but the then three-year-old picked up where he left off, winning the Prix du Prince d'Orange at Longchamp Racecourse in Paris. In his next start, In The Wings suffered his first defeat, finishing eleventh in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe against some of the best older horses in Europe.

After finishing fifth in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot Racecourse, In The Wings won the September Prix Foy at Longchamp. In his second Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, he finished fourth but then won the richest race of his career at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York on October 27, 1990.
