We close out 2013 with the fourth stop on The Great White North Tour by stopping at Red Shores Charlottetown (also known as Charlottetown Driving Park). CDP is the home of The Gold Cup and Saucer Stakes which takes place every August which draws some of the best drivers from Ontario back to their hometown where they started their career in addition to some of the better horses on the Ontario Circuit looking to win the most prestigious race in the Canadian Maritimes.
This time of year, things are different. The ground is snow covered and the locals are the ones racing at Charlottetown for small purses; its a labor of love to be racing in the winter in this part of Canada. The feature race on New Years Eve, an event for NW $1,501 in the last five races goes for $2,000 while a number of races go for $800, typically a NW $301 in the last five starts.
Most of the horses race exclusively in the Maritimes, the majority at Charlottetown. You will see some horses in from Truro, Exhibition Park (N.S.), Summerside, with a couple shipping in from Ontario (third tier). There is even a horse I recognize from racing at Monticello Raceway in the past.
