Full-time horse owners and breeders can work a lifetime and not achieve the kind of success Mrs. Revere had, which remains Dr. Richardson's best success story to date. “There's a Kentucky saying in the horse business: You never see a man with a yearling commit suicide,” he said. “If you have a young horse, there's always some hope that you have a great one coming around the corner.”
For now, he enjoys the opportunity to compete “and be a part of something. I have all kinds of friends who participate [in thoroughbred racing] at different levels,” he said. “When my horse ran second in a race the other day, I had 10 phone calls within 3 minutes from people around the country.”
