He also trained and owned horses before getting in the stand where he then spent 20 years.

He was notably married to Grace Kelly's sister, Lizanne.

They don't make them like Grace Kelly's sister anymore.

Be sure to count among your abilities that of suffering a fool.

Well, the hell with you then.

Don was a great guy and was still in the stand when I started calling some races at the Pha. Classy old fella, rocked tweed like no other in the late 1990s, and you would rarely, if ever, see him without a hat. Always had a smile and a kind word if I saw him in the hall. He is well-remembered with this race.

And I love Whistle Pig in this spot. A great story behind this horse...

My buddy's partnership claimed him for $10,000 in his fourth lifetime start on May 27, 2007, he's made 48 starts since, winning 16 races and placing 25 times, earning over $880,000. A win here would make him a ludicrous millionaire. Considering he was actually closing over the shorter trips at speed-favoring Presque Isle, I think he's got a massive shot.
