The Prince Edward Island Standardbred Horse Owners Association along with the PEI Harness Racing Industry Association are pleased to announce a special initiative for Old Home Week this year.

"We recognize the great importance of all the horses and their connections that compete here this week and are essential to making this great week of racing happen," said the associations in a joint press release. "To thank you for supporting our Industry here on Prince Edward Island and all of Old Home Week, we are offering a $25 'hook up fee' to all overnight horses racing this week in non paid in events who do not finish in the top five."

Hook up fees will be available at the PEISHOA building located next to the grandstand by the next race card.

"We are pleased to support initiatives like this and are only able to do so because of the success of our 50/50 sales," the release continued. "We ask you in turn to support our 50/50 so we can continue to give back to the horse racing community."
