Harness Racing

Most harness races start from behind a motorized starting gate.
The horses line up behind a hinged gate mounted on a motor
vehicle which then takes them to the starting line. At the
starting line the wings of the gate are folded up and the vehicle
accelerates away from the horses. Some European races start
without a gate.

The sulky (informally known as a bike) is a light two-wheeled
cart equipped with bicycle wheels. The driver carries a long,
light whip which is chiefly used to signal the horse by tapping
and to make noise by striking the sulky shaft.

Almost all North American races are at a distance of one mile,
and North American harness horses are all assigned a "mark" which
is their fastest winning time at that distance. Harness races
involve considerable strategy. First of all, drivers may contend
for the lead out of the gate. They then try to avoid getting
boxed in as the horses form into two lines -- one on the rail and
the other outside -- in the second quarter mile. They may decide
to go to the front, to race on the front on the outside ("first
over", a difficult position), or to race with cover on the
outside. On the rail behind the leader is a choice spot, known as
the pocket, and a horse in that position is said to have a garden
trip. Third on the rail is an undesirable spot, known as the
death hole. As the race nears the three-quarter mile mark, the
drivers implement their tactics for advancing their positions –
going to the lead early, circling the field, moving up an open
rail, advancing behind a horse expected to tire, and so on.

Unlike thoroughbreds, harness horses accelerate during the final
quarter mile of a race. The finishes of harness races are often
spectacular and perhaps more often extremely close. The judges
(equivalent to thoroughbred stewards) often have to request
prints of win, place, and show photos to determine the order of
finish.

Notable harness horses include Dan Patch, a pacer who was the
leading sports superstar in the United States in the early
twentieth century; Greyhound, a trotter who is arguably the most
dominant horse in any era of the sport; Bret Hanover, a pacer;
Cardigan Bay, a New Zealand bred pacer who was the first harness
horse to win $1 million in North America; Ourasi from France and
Mack Lobell of the United States, both trotters, who dominated in
the 1980s but who in their one confrontation competed so gamely
on the lead that they tired at the end and were overtaken; Cam
Fella, a pacer; and Matt's Scooter, a pacer.
