Weather issues have prompted management at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park to move the Guardian Gold Cup & Saucer race program to Sunday night at 6:00 p.m. (Atlantic time). It’s now part of a double-header with the afternoon card scheduled to kick off at 12:00 p.m.
The decision was made after a severe weather pattern moved into Prince Edward Island on Saturday morning leaving no option but to move 'the greatest show in harness racing' to Sunday evening.
With this announcement, all guests can enter the grounds with no gate fees, and the Red Shores main parking lot will be available.

Great Idea. Keep the
Great Idea. Keep the spectacular event at its height. Especially at night with all the glamour it deserves. Good move. Once again, conventional thinking wins!
Management made the right
Management made the right decision. When you operate a sport that is at the mercy of the weather gods your have to do what you have to do in order to protect the safety of all involved. Correct decision. Those who don't agree are not true racing fans. Lee Drake and his team should be applauded for what they do for the harness racing industry of PEI. Great job and Good Luck tomorrow. I will be watching.
