Jockey Camici was having none of it: he sent Ribot straight to the front and he never saw another horse for the rest of the race, as Ribot galloped the opposition into the ground to win by eight lengths.
Ribot now headed for the USA to stand at stud, initially for 5 years, whereafter he was to return to Europe.
But Ribot's overall impact on the breed and the sport has been far more lasting, as his feats as a racehorse were paralleled by his achievements as a sire, broodmare sire and sire-of-sires.

While it is beyond dispute that he was bred by the Italian master Tesio, it may well be that we should not attribute all of the dramatic improvement in the female line of Ribot to Tesio’s genius.
In fact the breeding of Ribot is possibly the best example of the step by step emergence of a champion from a relatively obscure female line, in the last one hundred years.
From that pinnacle in the family history, it was no less than 80 years before Ribot' s direct branch of the family exhibited signs that it was undergoing a transformation.

STORM founder John Ribot believes the only downside to the momentum the club's appearance in tomorrow night's grand final is generating for rugby league in Melbourne is that a new home ground being built won't be big enough.

This time, however, the code's governing bodies have thrown their full support behind ensuring Melbourne is a success, and there are indications that awareness and appreciation of the game is growing among Victorians.

 Book Review - Racehorse Breeding Theories
In many ways, horse racing involves people trying to find order in what is truly a chaotic system.
On paper, a horse may be the fastest and the most likely to win, yet the handicapper who bets his money on that horse is in no way guaranteed to finish in the money let alone win.
With this in mind, the female side of the family is all but forgotten, given that a sire can breed to 100 or more mares in a season, while a broodmare can have just one offspring per year.
