Written for me by Mr Racetrack because I know eff all about Harness Slot Malaysia. Everything horseracing related is of interest to me, just because I call Harness Racing Chariot Racing, does not mean I am disinterested.
By Mr Racetrack ::
Harness Racing is a form of horse racing in which the horses race in a specified gait. They also usually pull two-wheeled carts called sulkies.
In most jurisdictions harness races are restricted to standardbred horses. Standardbreds are so called because in the early years of the standardbred stud book only horses who could race a mile in a standard time were entered into the book.
Standardbreds have shorter legs than thoroughbreds, and longer bodies. They also are of more placid dispositions, as suits horses whose races involve more strategy and more re-acceleration than do thoroughbred races.
Races are conducted in two gaits. In continental Europe all harness races are conducted between trotters. A trotter's forelegs move in tandem with the opposite hind legs -- when the right foreleg moves forward so does the left hind leg, and vice versa. In Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K., and the United States, races are also held for pacers. Pacers' forelegs move in tandem with the hind legs on the same side.
Pacing races constitute 80% to 90% of the harness races conducted in North America. The horses are faster and, most important to the bettor, less likely to Online Casino Malaysia break stride (a horse which starts to gallop must be slowed down and taken to the outside until it regains stride). One of the reasons pacers are less likely to break stride is that they often wear hopples or hobbles, straps which connect the legs on each of the horse's sides.
Most harness races start from a motorized 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 (sometimes called 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 try to avoid getting boxed in as the horses form into two lines -- one on the rail and the other outside -- at the beginning of the race. 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.
Harness races are run over 4 various sized tracks. A half mile track, where the horses go around twice, a 5/8 mile track, where the horses start in the backstretch, and a 7/8 and a mile oval, the later two having wider, sweeping turns, opposed to the "sharp" turns a half mile track has, and a longer stretch. Some horses cannot negotiate the smaller ovals, as their stride and maneuverability are better suited for the bigger tracks. Horses for courses would be applicable.
Many different methods are used to "handicap" these races, and I will discuss some of these, along with the various "betting propositions" offered, in my next installment of "HARNESS RACING"
Gamblog Comment :: When I eventually visit America, I will just have to go by Mr Racetrack's and get him to show me some Harness Racing for real. I may make a few quid aswell ~ the guy knows how to pick a winner in a Harness Race, believe me.
