Event Planned For Mark MacDonald

Trot Insider has learned that horsepeople in southern Ontario are planning an event in honour of Mark MacDonald

.

The event will take place at the Halton Country Inn (aka. 'The Rockpile') on Wednesday, July 6 and will get underway at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets to the dance, which will include food and a cash bar, are $20 and may be purchased at Tackmaster Equipment or from Jody Jamieson, Anthony MacDonald or Jack Belliveau.

Belliveau told Trot Insider that "if we raise a few dollars to offset some of Mark's expenses during his lengthy recovery period that would be great, but what we're really looking to do is to have a get together to show him that we're thinking about him and supporting him during this difficult time."

MacDonald, who has been involved in enough wrecks to last a lifetime, was injured in a serious accident at Mohawk Racetrack on May 26 where he was thrown violently to the track before being taken to hospital. Among other injuries, the O'Brien Award winning driver suffered a dislocated shoulder, a broken nose and jaw, and damage to his arm and wrist. He was released from hospital on May 30 and is currently recuperating from his injuries at home.
