No nothing about harness racing, but still want to check it out
Goodluck, I know very little about harness racing either but the dining/racing experience is fun especially if you are entertaining or on a vacation. There was a restaurant across the street named the Mandarin buffet that was one of the best buffet's that I have ever eaten at if you want an alternative place to eat. You should see it from the main road. Wicked food!

The whole Canadian money thing is gonna be comedy for me though. Never held another currency before. I know you can exchange US to Canadian at the track, but can they give you US funds for your Canadian when you are done?

Not so much a Canadian tradition as specifically a Quebecois specialty.

POUTINE..

Springy cheddar cheese curds on fresh cuts fries covered with a unique topping which is more sauce than gravy. It's obscene.

Be careful with the money. They have coins forth at least $5. Maybe more. The first time was in Toronto a group of us left all the coins plus a normal size tip with bills. The bartender was so nice to us when we left, we figured it out a little later that we had left a tip of about 120%. So look at the coins before you leave a pile of them on the bar.

Do not exchange money at the track....you will get ripped off and pay a premium for the conversion.

Canadian currency has a $2 coin and a $1 coin....the lowest bill is a $5.......

Coach...that poutine is a Quebec thing! We in Ontario have different ways to get our cholesterol levels flying.......
