Ricard Small learned the business from his father but the Vietnam War temporarily interrupted his career when he served three years with the Green Berets. Following his discharge from military service, he returned to take over his father's stable in 1974. [2] As at April 14, 2013, Richard Small has won 1,182 races including the 1994 Breeders' Cup Classic.[3]
