What the App Actually Gives You
Red Shores has been part of harness racing on Prince Edward Island since the 1880s, and over time our digital tools finally caught up with the track action. Through the app and the redshores.ca mobile portal, players in Canada can pull up race programs, picks, simulcast links, casino offers, and rewards information without having to drive out to Charlottetown or Summerside every time.
We do not pretend the app replaces the atmosphere on a live race day. It does not. But for planning, checking lines, following promos, or staying on top of your play, it covers almost everything you typically need before and during the card.
Both of our locations are built into the experience: Charlottetown Driving Park (CDP) and Summerside Raceway (SRW). All sections that involve real-money wagering or casino gaming remain restricted to customers who are 19 or older, which is the standard across Atlantic Canada and we follow it closely.
Getting the App Set Up
To get going, start at redshores.ca. From there, the site detects your device and directs you either to the dedicated app download or into the mobile-optimized version of our portal. On Android, you can install an APK directly or follow a redirect to Google Play when that store listing is live. On iOS, the official page sends you straight to the App Store button.
Once the app is on your phone, open it and clear the age-gate first. We ask you to confirm that you are 19 or older before any racing or casino content appears. After that, you either log in with your existing Red Shores account or set up a new profile with an email address and a password.
At this point we usually suggest enabling push notifications. Our practice shows that race day alerts, especially when post times move around a bit, are genuinely helpful. The timing on those is tuned to what actually happens around our paddocks.
The first home screen you see after setup brings together a few core blocks: upcoming race dates at both tracks, current casino promotions, and a direct link into the Race Programs and Picks area. Main navigation is split quite simply into Racing, Casino, Dining, and Rewards tabs so you can jump straight to what matters on that visit.
Race Programs and Picks
For a lot of our regulars, this is the first place they go in the app. The Race Programs and Picks portal gives you digital race cards for live harness racing at CDP and SRW, along with basic handicapping support. You see post positions, driver and trainer details, and the picks loaded in before each race card starts.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Race Programs | Available for CDP and SRW race days |
| Picks Content | Handicapping selections per race |
| Schedule Access | Full race calendar for both tracks |
| Race Office Hours | Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm |
| Race Day Office | Opens 3 hours before post time |
To open a program, move into the Racing tab, choose Charlottetown or Summerside, then tap the date you are interested in on the calendar and view the race program tied to that card. Inside that program, a Picks section lists the handicapper’s choices race by race. On most phones and tablets you can export or share the file if your device menu supports it.
We also keep race office contact details visible right inside the Racing area so you do not need to hunt them down elsewhere. For Charlottetown, reach the office at 902-629-6634 or 902-629-6636. For Summerside on a race day, the line is 902-888-5666 ext. 4118.
If you are still getting comfortable with how a race program reads, we usually suggest something very simple: start with the post position and take a quick look at the driver record. Those two pieces of information do most of the heavy lifting. The rest of the numbers and lines become helpful context once you have that base.
