Harness racing is a type of racing where horses race around a track while pulling a two-wheeled cart (sulky / spider) and a driver behind them. In this sport, Standardbreds are used. These horses are separated into two categories, trotters and pacers. Pacers move the legs on each side of their body in tandem, while trotters move their diagonal legs together. The latter are typically faster than the former due to the gaits used. Occasionally a horse will break their gait into an actual canter or gallop. This could cause the loss of a race or even a disqualification. Notable races include the Breeder's Crown series. Acceptable condition, creasing, folds, pinholes, minor tears, trimmed top edge.
