Richard Small learned the business from his father but the Vietnam War temporarily interrupted his career when he served three years with the army Green Berets. Following his discharge from military service, he returned to take over his father's stable in 1974.[2]
A highlight of Small's career was his 1994 win of the $3 million Breeders' Cup Classic with Concern. Ridden by Jerry Bailey, the three-year-old colt was owned and bred by Robert Meyerhoff.[3]
