About
Tartan Downs was a harness racing track in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on Cape Breton Island. Its origins trace to the North Sydney Trotting Park established by newspapermen A. C. Bertram and R. Hickey in the late 1890s, which opened on July 31, 1898. The track was reopened as the Cape Breton Sports Centre on August 1, 1945 and was renamed Tartan Downs in 1984. In 1958, 51 harness racing events generated a record $650,000 in pari-mutuel wagers, making it one of Nova Scotia's two largest tracks alongside Sackville Downs. Tartan Downs closed in May 2006 and the property was later acquired by Cape Breton University.
