David A. Whiteley (born c. 1944) is a retired American Thoroughbred horse racing trainer who trained three Champions[1] and who in 1979 won the third leg of the U.S. Triple Crown.[2]
The son of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Frank Y. Whiteley, Jr., he grew up in the industry.[3]
David Whiteley's win with Coastal in the 1979 Belmont Stakes ended the Triple Crown hopes of Spectacular Bid.[4]
His three Champions were all female horses:
- Revidere,1976 American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly for William Haggin Perry
- Waya, 1979 American Champion Older Female Horse for Peter M. Brant and George W. Strawbridge, Jr.
- Just A Game, 1980 American Champion Female Turf Horse for owners Peter M. Brant and H. Joseph Allen
Whiteley retired in November 1995.
