Let's hope we never lose traditional racing. One way to ensure it stays is to grow it, so I am all for this stuff.
I am planning to go to a harness race in PEI this August for the very first time. It is called the Gold Cup and Saucer. It is a throwback race to old times, in a rural setting and a harness racing hotbed. There are no superstars, it is not a big stakes race, but it is history. 40,000 people come out for the fair and race and it is a marvelous experience that I hope we never lose.
We can chat more about this on Twitter later.
