The I Love Canadian Harness Racing Fan Club recognized trainer/driver Anthony MacDonald of Guelph, Ont. as the Fan Club’s 2016 Ambassador of the Year in a winner's circle presentation at Mohawk Racetrack on Saturday night (April 22).
Dan Gall, President and CEO of Standardbred Canada, made the Ambassador of the Year presentation to MacDonald following the second race on Saturday.
The Fan Club ambassador is an individual within the industry who has made a significant contribution to the sport and inspires other to get involved. MacDonald is founder of the award-winning fractional ownership program The Stable. The program simplifies buying and owning a horse with the ultimate goal of helping to promote horse ownership and harness racing. With more than 241 owners spread over three continents and six countries, The Stable is easily one of the fastest growing ventures in North American horse racing.
In addition to The Stable, MacDonald is also known as a prominent and successful harness racing trainer and driver with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Since 2010, he has twice placed among the top 10 drivers in Canada for purse earnings. He has been a regular blogger for Standardbred Canada’s website and was recently honoured by the Standardbred Breeders of Ontario Association with its 2016 Lloyd Chisholm Achievement Award. MacDonald continues to generate awareness and interest in the sport and dedicate his free time to ensure that harness racing succeeds across the country.
Standardbred Canada, the I Love Canadian Harness Racing Fan Club and Mohawk Racetrack would like to congratulate MacDonald on being named the Fan Club’s 2016 Ambassador of the Year!
