Come visit our matinee tracks, where kids are encouraged and horses whinny a welcome. Located on Highway 1, just a scenic 35 minute drive east of Charlottetown, Pinette Raceway should definitely be on your list of places to visit. All race drivers must wear kilts to compete.

Everything is done by volunteers and equipment is expensive, so compromises must be made. The old fire truck makes a perfect water truck to keep the dust down on the track, with a few modifications. The starting gate used to lead the charge of horses at Summerside Raceway, before it got too old for them.

Luckily, as at all of the matinee tracks, nobody begrudges their time to keep things running. Every harness race in North America starts with the horses behind the gate, but did you ever wonder how the horses get used to it?

The gate starts to move in the backstretch and keeps a comfortable pace for three-quarters of a mile. The drivers range from enthusiastic amateurs to young people not old enough to race anywhere else to professionals.
