    What famous athletes drove in official harness races?
    I know that there are NHL players who owned horses while playing where when they retired,they drove a bit.I think you acquire what's called a provisional license.It makes sense that NHL players would get into harness since it's huge in Canada.I heard that a few entertainers got into driving harness too.Anyone here know of famous people and athletes that drove in official parimutual races?

      John "The Count" Montefusco

      On September 29, 1976, Montefusco threw a no-hitter for the Giants in a 9-0 victory versus the Atlanta Braves. It was the last no-hitter to be thrown by a Giant until Jonathan Sanchez threw one on July 10, 2009. [1] He also is one of only a handful of pitchers to hit a home run in his first at bat (September 3, 1974).
