Title: The MacDonalds
Post by: bestbetter on March 07, 2025, 10:52:09 AM: What is the relationship between the various MacDonald's?

Post by: Arrive7100 on March 07, 2025, 11:12:26 AM: Anthony, Mark, and James are brothers. Anthony is the oldest, then Mark, then James.

Post by: Kole Hanover on March 07, 2025, 11:31:50 AM: Also:
Ronnie MacDonald, father of Brett MacDonald
John MacDonald, brother of Ronnie

IMO:
James Mac is the best of the 3 brothers, in racing & being a great human. He is so unselfish & came up the right way. He was never pushed to get in over his head.

All around A-1 guy

He's the A/V wizard.
Has his own broadcasting company and takes care of all the COSA TV broadcasts I believe.

Curtis and Lloyd are on the "technical" or video side of the business.

While might agree the James is the best driver. But then Mark was pretty damn good but very unlucky with accidents. James is not a good human. Ask his exwife

Their mother has worked in the harness racing industry for decades upon decades, still does.
They are very grounded for how much success they've had.

Couldn't say a bad thing about them.
