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]

Report

The Western Pack Burro Ass-ociation has been organising races up the Mountains of Colorado for 71 years, a tradition which began when mine workers, who carried their tools and equipment on the backs of donkeys (burros in Spanish), to help get there quicker and to bring a bit of light enjoyment to their work. [Reference: 12]

The runner runs alongside the donkeys all the way up the top of the mountain, taking just over an hour to reach the top. John Vincent has been the leading runner over the past ten years and Crazy Horse (under two runners: John Vincent and Andrew Knutson) has been the leading Donkey. [Reference: 2-11]
