I spent many weekends at the racetrack. I loved the outdoor bbq's they use to have in the summers. The track produced a lot of great harness drivers that sadly, moved their skills to Ontario. S. Filion, R. Zeron and M. Baillargeon to name a few.

I miss Blue Bonnets/Hippodrome, I used to sit there for all races, betting only $2-$5 a race and had a great time !
