Ripcord was a $40,000 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale purchase for his trainer from the Barador Stud draft and collected over $82,000 for his debut success.

He is the first stakes-winner among three winners from Single in London, a four time winning three-quarter sister-in-blood by Not a Single Doubt to Group I placed Group III winner Faraway Town from the family of Group I winner Only a Lady.
