Where each line starts and ends
Each line starts at the OpenStreetMap point for Red Shores Racetrack & Casino and ends at the map point of the town in question. The desk gives no driving times, because a straight line says nothing about roads. Google Maps supplies the route and its time once a row is opened. Race dates sit on the racing pages of redshores.ca. On a race night, leave enough margin to park and find a grandstand seat before the first race.
