Macdonald said several factor played into his
decision. “The Meadowlands is where I always wanted to be, it’s the place
to drive. With the stakes races at Yonkers coming up and some of the
Meadowlands regulars following horses over to Yonkers, some opportunities have
opened up at the Meadowlands. Plus if you are there full time, you tend
to get more chances.”
While Macdonald is committed to drive through the end at
the winter meet, this move is not necessarily timed out once The Championship
Meet kicks off. “If I can get things going well at the Meadowlands, then
I’ll stay. Like I said, when I came down here I always wanted to drive at
the Meadowlands, I like the bigger track
too.”
Macdonald is a budding star in the sport. At just 34
years of age, he has over 5,100 victories and lifetime earnings of over $64
Million. His two biggest wins came in The Little Brown Jug with Mr
Feelgood and the North American Cup with Sportswriter.
