Default Don at Delta Downs?

Who is Don, the house handicapper at Delta Downs? (last name?) He seems to a good job, and he's enjoyable to listen to.

He never does, he just tell us how good it is. I have made alittle money at Delta Downs by looking for the closer type in the 5 furlong races and the speed in the 7 furlong races.

Thanks - has he ever been anywhere else? Doesn't have the local accent.

Enjoyable watching some of these smaller tracks at times.

He called at Remington Park before going to Delta. He came up to River this summer and hung out for a couple races, really nice guy. i think he does a great job calling the races and doing the show there, has a lot of fun.
