Don Rickles was a pretty nice horse ( early 80s I think ) owned by ted Sabrese and trained by John Parisella.

1981 to be exact. However, there was also a Don Rickles in 1957--go figure. The 1981 DR wont the Nashua, 2nd in the Hopeful and Tropical Park Derby.

I thought Capital South was 1983. I know he was a Darby Dan horse and he may never have run again...or not for quite a while.

John Parisella... trainer to the stars... And devourer of Donnie Tessitore's eggplant parm at our Sunday Buffets at the Spa...
