Royal Ship earned his first North American graded stakes win in the Grade 2 Californian Stakes at Santa Anita Park on Apr. 17, 2021, prevailing in a long stretch duel to defeat Country Grammer by a neck under jockey Mike Smith. In his next start, the Grade 1 Hollywood Gold Cup on May 31, he again engaged Country Grammer in a heated stretch duel but lost to that foe by a head.
