Ribot is scheduled to return to stud in Milan next year, but now negotiations are under way to bring him back permanently to Kentucky. And no wonder. Two weeks ago in the Kentucky Derby, Ribot's sons, Dapper Dan and Tom Rolfe, ran two three behind Lucky Debonair. Last week, in the 90th Preakness, Tom and Dan ran one two in the mile and three sixteenths classic the first time this has happened in a Triple Crown race since 1948 when Calumet's Citation and Coaltown, sons of Bull Lea, ran one two in the Derby. The performance refuted once and for all those American critics who said that Ribot was just another overrated foreign stallion who would wind up producing run of the mill horses. He has justified the wisdom of the man who brought him here.
