Harness driver Jody Jamieson blogged about his recent racing trip to Finland, now Mark MacDonald (above, connecting with fans in Ohio) is providing Twitter updates before his drives.
The 31-year-old Cambridge resident, a two-time Canadian driver of the year (2005, 2006) began the practice April 20 for a card at Grand River Raceway in Elora.
It was MacDonald’s brother, Curtis, who works at Grand River in the video department that put Mark up to tweeting about his drives.
Athletes tweeting is nothing new, but it’s a relatively uncommon occurrence in harness racing.
Why should anyone care? Handicapping is all about information and Mark’s tweets do give bettors at least something to add to their thinking before making a wager. So long as he’s truthful, it does provide insight into his mindset.
