. . . human and equine. Called Mr Warmth, Rickles was the king of comic insults making it to the big time after offering up comedic insults at Frank Sinatra on TV. Naming a racehorse after him was thought to be the kiss of death, but it appears neither equines nor the person are forgotten.

Awesome article! As a kid I didn’t like Don Rickles, I thought he was mean. But as an adult, I love watching the old comedy shows with him roasting a celebrity. I didn’t know there were a couple horses named after him. That’s cool.
