Silks and Sulkies

The film captures the thrill of harness racing on Prince Edward Island, with a glimpse behind the scenes at the training of a colt for this sport. We follow Bellhop's career as a pacer, from his unwilling introduction to harness through trials with a bicycle sulky to his first big race. The climax of the film comes with scenes of a mixed race of trotters and pacers at Charlottetown's Old Home Week.
