Patiently ridden by Alonso Quinonez, Richard's Kid rallied strongly along the rail to defeat Crown of Thorns by three quarters of a length in the $250,000 Goodwood Stakes.
Crown of Thorns broke sharply and dualed for the lead with heavy favorite Twirling Candy. The latter, undefeated in four starts, was sent off as the 3-5 and looked like he was on his way to the Breeders' Cup Classic as the field turned for home, but Crown of Thorns came right back at him and nearly got the job done in his first two turn race since 2008, but Richard's Kid proved just too good.
Dakota Phone finished third, followed by Twirling Candy.
