A major factor that sets harness racing and Thoroughbred racing apart is the fact that harness racing uses a sulky, also known as a race bike, which is a lightweight cart that is attached to the horse.
The sulky has only two wheels and has a seat in which the driver sits to steer their horse. Another distinguishing factor between these two types of racing is that Thoroughbreds only use one four beat gait the gallop when racing, whereas harness races either allow trotting or pacing.
Trotting is a two beat diagonal gait where the legs move together in diagonal pairs. The other allowed gait in harness races is the pace, which is a two beat lateral gait that occurs when both legs move forward together. During harness races, if the horse breaks their gait and accelerates into a canter or gallop they have to be slowed back down into their correct gait or they will be disqualified.

Visibly the offside front and rear legs are moving together as are the nearside legs moving in unison.
But when Mike got her to go faster, it was like a gear shift in an engine. Suddenly, Do Your Job's right legs and left legs moved in sync. That's all learned through training, and the New York Times reported on a gene discovered a few years ago that explained why some horses are pacers and some aren't. Check out the Hambletonian - instead of starting from a closed gate like thoroughbreds, these horses get up to speed behind a truck with gates that close when the race starts:. Admit it: You watched that video and thought, "Eh, those horses look slower than what I see in thoroughbred racing.
Have you ever been in a moving vehicle going 30 mph? But have you been on the back of a horse seated on something that you could fall off of with no doors or roof and just some reins - called driving lines - to steer? Thirty mph is fast. But even then, I could barely hear Fumeniero telling me weren't going that fast because of the wind now howling through my ears and the cart started shuddering more.
I dug in my right foot in a stirrup and steadied my grip on a bar on the jog cart. I rode besides Fumeniero for a couple of laps around the track - which, fun fact, is covered crushed limestone so that both horses and wheels can go over it - before he handed the lines over to me.
