About this Article
For Danny Miller, it's all about time. Time as in maybe it's finally time for the low-key trainer to hit it big with the Frank Calabrese-owned Romacaca in Saturday's running of the Grade I $750,000 Beverly D., a victory that would be by far the biggest of Miller's long career. But also time as in the every moment is precious kind of time, because for the 59-year-old Palatine resident, it really is. "I've got congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy and leaky valves — you name it and I've got it," Miller said.Latest Galleries
