Sumter needed four starts to secure his first career win, prevailing by 3 ¼ length in a five-furlong turf sprint Nov. 14, 2021, at Del Mar. He opened his 3-year-old season with back-to-back stakes wins going a mile on the turf in the Pasadena Stakes and Singletary Stakes at Santa Anita Park.
The War Front gelding established himself over the next five years as a consistent turf performer in Southern California, winning stakes races in 2024 and 2025 while placing in five graded stakes. He earned his breakthrough graded stakes win as a 7-year-old in 2026 when he battled bravely in the stretch to win the Grade 3 San Simeon Stakes by a nose on the downhill turf course March 14 at Santa Anita.
