About The Don Macbeth Fund: The Don Macbeth Fund is a non-profit organization that was established in 1987 by Actor/Comedian Tim Conway and Judy McCarron, wife of hall-of-fame jockey Chris McCarron. The Fund was named for the late rider, Don MacBeth, who rode Chief’s Crown to victory in the first Breeders’ Cup race, and who died of cancer in 1987 at the age of 37. Don MacBeth was well respected by all who knew him or rode against him. Macbeth was more than just an exceptional jockey--he was an exceptional man. He lived his life on principle and spent much of his time trying to help those less fortunate than he. From its modest beginnings, Conway’s $5,000 donation, the Fund’s dollars have seen plenty of use including, renovation of homes to accommodate the use of wheelchairs, conversion of vans and cars with hand controls and side gate lifts, prosthetic devices, wheelchairs, various types of physical therapy equipment, ophthalmologic and dental care, plastic surgery, house and trailer payments, food, rent, and other basic living expenses. The Don MacBeth Memorial Jockey Fund has made a substantial difference in the lives of many grateful jockeys and their families.
