In his third start in the United States, Flavius won his first stakes race, taking the Tourist Mile Stakes at Kentucky Downs on Sep. 7, 2020.

He held on for a 3/4-length win, setting a new track record for a mile by covering the distance in 1:32.21. Flavius concluded his 2020 season with a fifth-place finish in the Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes at Keeneland on Oct. 10, and a second-place finish in the Grade 2 Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar on Nov. 28.
