Trained by J. O. Meaux. Purchased at 2 by Harvey Peltier, Diplomat Way turned an immediate profit by winning the 1966 Arlington-Washington Futurity, then the nation's richest race. After his retirement, he stood at stud at Farnsworth Farms in Florida where he sired many stakes winners in both America and England, the most familiar of whom to Fair Grounds' fans was the speedy Colonel Power, also a member of the Fair Grounds' Racing Hall of Fame.
Diplomat Way died in 1984.
