On Tuesday, January 7, Standardbred Canada announced that trainer-driver Anthony MacDonald of Guelph, Ontario, had been voted the 2019 recipient of the Cam Fella Award.

Minutes before that announcement was posted online, Dan Gall, President and CEO of Standardbred Canada dropped by Tomiko Training Centre to give the “official” news to Anthony and the team for Thestable.ca.
