Career

David Miller was born December 10, 1964 in Columbus, Ohio. He grew up in Reynoldsburg, Ohio in a harness racing family - his father, grandfather, uncle, nephew and cousin were all drivers. Miller saw his first Little Brown Jug when he was 12 years old.[1]

Miller guided No Pan Intended to the Pacing Triple Crown in 2003. He has won a number of Triple Crown races and Breeders Crown trophies. Miller is a five-time winner of the Little Brown Jug and one of only two drivers (Billy Haughton in 1974) to capture both the Jug and the Jugette in the same year.[1]

On May 3, 2014 at the Meadowlands, Miller reached the 11,000 career victory milestone, becoming only the 8th North American driver to do so.[1]

During 2014, Miller also made his first appearance at Solvalla Racetrack in Stockholm, Sweden, in an elimination for the Elitlopp with world champion trotter Uncle Peter.[2]
