.
MacDonald earned his first win of the night in the second race aboard the Matthew McDonald-trained Beasty Royal ($3.20) and later scored a natural hat trick in races seven through nine with Toucam Sam ($4) for trainer Luc Loyer, Just Listed ($8.70) for Gary McDonald, and Mach Beth ($6.30) for Stephanie Cassell. MacDonald capped off the night with one more win in the finale aboard another Matthew McDonald trainee, Xexy ($3.40).
