Lucky Find, a game South African-bred by Rich Man’s Gold, was a true international trooper, winning 8 races and approximately R3,6 million in stakes.

His biggest success came at the 2008 Dubai Racing Carnival, when he won the Gr 3 Al Maktoum Challenge (Round 2), over 1800m under Kevin Shea.

Lucky Find went on to take sixth place behind Curlin in the 2008 Dubai World Cup.
