The Kite Track in Old Orchard Beach was first referred to as The Breeders' Mile Track. The track was built in 1892, the same time as Rigby Park. At the time there was competition for which track the horsemen would support. This post will be followed by future posts that will provide you with more history and images of the Kite Track. The Kite Track might have been the only Kite Track on the East Coast. Kite Tracks were most popular in the mid-west.
The images of the Harness Horse Storyboards were courtesy of Mike Hendrickson, a seller of postcards and harness racing memorabilia. http://neplains.com
