Paul and Gemini Caine have operated Pine Valley Training Centre for thirteen years. Their barns were full this winter with 67 horses. The training centre boasts a 5/8 mile indoor training track which consists of the same surface material as the training track at Woodbine. Horses can breeze up to 3/8 of a mile and every year there are horses that have wintered at Pine Valley that have been winners in the  rst two opening weekends.
Trainers David Cotey, Stuart Simon, Rachel Holden, Reade Baker, Gail Cox, Scott Fairlie, Julia Carey and Sam DiPasquale have had their horses training at Pine Valley.
