Serial entrepreneur Rick Kueber, co-founder and CEO of Sun Tan City and Planet Fitness franchisee, last year bought six yearlings as he started his own stable, Kueber Racing.

"Wow," was how trainer Brad Cox began his thoughts on Arklow's five-furlong work in 59.40 seconds under Florent Geroux in company with Gold Standard (inside horse).

Hear what all Cox had to say about the horse who at age 6 added blinkers for the first time, and then promptly won Kentucky Downs' $1 million Calumet Farm Kentucky Turf Classic. Next up: $4 million Longines Breeders' Cup Turf. Starts off with work video. Thanks to Churchill Downs' Kevin Kerstein and trainer Buff Bradley for the video help.
