This past Thursday, author Paul Murphy received an endorsement from PEI Liberal MLA Robert Mitchell on his latest harness racing book.

‘Horse Power,’ a sequel to the best seller ‘Behind the Gate,’ relays the love of horses and the enjoyment of grassroots harness racing in the Atlantic provinces through the experiences, stories and advice of horsepeople, past and present, who have made immeasurable contributions to the sport and industry they love.

The 219-page book features more than 100 photographs. Beginning in the 1880s and proceeding to 2014, it is a book about people, special places, events and horses.
