About the Owner
Donald R. Dizney
Donald Dizney found his passion for thoroughbreds at Keeneland while attending the nearby Eastern Kentucky University on a football scholarship. He was part of the excited infield crowd at Churchill Downs in 1961 when a flashy Florida-bred colt named Carry Back triumphed in the Kentucky Derby. It was then Dizney’s dream of owning a thoroughbred with 50 friends began to stir. It all came full circle when Dizney purchased the farm known now as Double Diamond Farm in the heart of horse country, Ocala, Fla.
Double Diamond Farm is a premier training center and stallion facility. Double Diamond Farm has won more than 730 races and responsible for breeding 70 stakes winners. Currently, Double Diamond Farm’s stallion roster includes two homebreds, graded stakes winner Bahamian Squall and grade 1 winning millionaire and Florida’s leading active sire, First Dude.
Dizney has served multiple terms on the board of directors of Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association; he has also served on boards of TOBA, NTRA, National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame and on the executive committee of the Breeders’ Cup. He is also a member of The Jockey Club.
