Yonkers Raceway driver Mark MacDonald scored his 6,000th career win last month.

The 38-year-old MacDonald, a native of Charlottetown, PEI, was a standout in Canada for years. He migrated stateside, making Yonkers his base of operation since 2012.

MacDonald's resume, which began with a win behind Make it Music in a "quarter claimer" at Rideau Carleton Raceway in June of 1997, includes personal bests in 2006 of wins (745) and purses (more than $10.1 million).

He won the Little Brown Jug with Mr Feelgood, added a pair of Breeders Crowns (2007 Mare Pace - Moving Pictures and 2011 Three-Year-Old Colt/Gelding Pace - Betterthancheddar) a North America Cup (2010 - Sportswriter) and a pair of O'Brien Awards as Canada's leading driver.

MacDonald has amassed more than $86 million in career earnings, adding to that total with a win in this past weekend's Breeders Crown at Hoosier Park with Pure Country. MacDonald has been a regular on the Yonkers circuit for several years and is currently sixth in the driver standings.
