Legacy World returned in January 1993 at Nakayama and finished second to the six-year-old White Stone in the Grade II American Jockey Club Cup over 2200 metres.
After Toyama's death in May 1993, the gelding entered the stable of the first-season trainer Hideyuki Mori.

After an absence of more than eight months, Legacy World returned in the Grade II Kyoto Daishoten over 2400 metres on 10 October and finished second of the ten runners to Mejiro McQueen.
On 28 November, in front of a record crowd of 175,000, the gelding made his second attempt to win the Japan Cup, a race which pitted seven Japanese horses against nine overseas challengers, and started at odds of 11.5/1.
The other Japanese runners were Winning Ticket (Tokyo Yushun), Rice Shower, Mejiro Palmer, Matikanetannhauser (third in the Kikuka Sho), Nice Nature and the dirt racer Hashiru Shogun (Teio Sho).
The North American contingent comprised Kotashaan (the 4.2/1 favourite), Star of Cozzene and Luazar (Del Mar Handicap) whilst Europe was represented by White Muzzle (Derby Italiano) from Britain, Urban Sea from France, Misil (Premio Roma) from Italy and Platini (Gran Premio di Milano) from Germany.
The other two runners were Naturalism from Australia and The Phantom Chance from New Zealand.
Kawachi tracked the leaders and reached the final turn in second place behind Mejiro Palmer before taking the lead in the straight.
He stayed on strongly in the closing stages to win by one and a quarter lengths with Kotashaan taking second in a three-way photo finish from Winning Ticket and Platini.
Kent Desormeaux, the rider of the runner-up, was fined by the racecourse stewards after he mistook the finish line and stopped riding 100 metres from the end of the race.
After the gelding's victory, Hideyuki Mori said "The horse was very lightly raced.
Legacy World was therefore a fresh horse, specially prepared for the Japan Cup.
This was his target".
Kawachi, who was winning the race at the fifth attempt commented "I was secretly confident the big chance was today".

On his last run of the year, Legacy World was again invited to run in the Arima Kinen, but finished fifth of fourteen behind Tokai Teio on 26 December.
