MacBeth was the leading jockey at Monmouth Park for three years running between 1978 and 1980. 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. A resident of Reddick, Florida at the time of his passing in 1987, the following year MacBeth was inducted posthumously into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. (en)
