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]

Small won 1,199 races over a 40-year career, including the 1994 Breeders' Cup Classic.^[4] He died at his Monkton, Maryland home at the age of 68 in 2014.^[5]
