Donald MacBeth (August 29, 1949 – March 1, 1987) was a Canadian Hall of Fame jockey in North American Thoroughbred racing.[1]
Born in Red Deer, Alberta, Macbeth rode horses at Alberta racetracks before going to race in the United States. Among horses of note, he rode Deputy Minister, winner of the 1981 Sovereign and Eclipse awards for Outstanding Two-Year-Old Male Horse in Canada and the United States. In Japan, MacBeth rode Half Iced to victory in the 1982 Japan Cup and Chief's Crown to a win in the 1984 Breeders' Cup Juvenile, the 1985 Blue Grass Stakes, and the 1985 Marlboro Cup. He also won the prestigious Washington, D.C. International in 1985 aboard Vanlandingham for trainer Shug McGaughey.
A 1991 Southern Florida Sun-Sentinel newspaper story referred to MacBeth as being "among the most respected of jockeys, known well for his gentle nature and integrity."[2]
MacBeth was the leading jockey at Monmouth Park for three years running between 1978 and 1980.[3] He won 2,764 races before cancer ended his racing career. For his significant contribution to the sport of horse racing, MacBeth received the Avelino Gomez Memorial Award and the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award.[4] MacBeth died in Reddick, Florida, where he lived, in 1987. The following year he was inducted posthumously into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.
