Harness Racing

Standardbreds racing in sulkies — trotters and pacers.

Harness racing is a different game from thoroughbred racing. Post positions matter more, drivers matter more, trip shape matters more, and the data is messier because parked-out work isn't priced into the final time the way it should be.

Most public handicapping tools were built for thoroughbreds and ported to harness. First Over was built for harness.
