About Harness Racing

Harness Racing is Pony & Trap Racing, whereby a Horse and Driver race around a cicuit with the first past the Finish Line the Winner. Standardbred Horses are employed. Pacer is identified by the gait of the horse, with the horses leg moving one side at a time; this is historically the most popular in Ireland, as well as USA, Australia and New Zealand. In Trotter is a two-beat diagonal gait of the horse where the diagonal pairs of legs move forward at the same time with a moment of suspension between each beat. It is tradtionally the most popular in Europe, but is becoming more popular in Ireland. [Reference: 4]
