Bio
David Donk caught the racing bug from his father who owned racehorses since 1968 and grew up across the road from the farm where the family horses were boarded, near Finger Lakes Racetrack in western New York. Donk worked at the track as a teenager and later worked under Hall of Fame trainer Woody Stephens until 1990, when he started training his own string of racehorses full time.
Donk trained turf runner Awad to a trio of Grade 1 wins and also conditioned such graded stakes winners as Pennine Ridge, Ordway, Incurable Optimist, Sharp Performance, Hessonite and King Kreesa.
