Do You Know Harness Racing?

Harness racing involves Standardbred horses. Standardbreds are a specific breed of horse that are known for their ability to trot or pace at a fast speed while pulling a two-wheeled cart called a sulky. They are specifically bred and trained for harness racing, which is a popular form of horse racing where the horses compete in a specific gait while pulling the sulky and driver. Thoroughbreds, Tennessee Walking Horses, Arabians, and other breeds are not typically involved in harness racing.

An open bridle refers to a bridle that does not have blinkers or "blinds" attached to it. This type of bridle allows the horse to have full vision on all sides, as there are no obstructions blocking their view.

A "murphy blind" refers to a small piece of leather that can be attached to a horse's bridle. This piece of equipment helps keep the horse's head straight.

Coasting in horse racing refers to a horse that is going easily or traveling without pressure in a race, typically in front. This means that the horse is not being pushed or urged by the jockey and is maintaining a comfortable pace without any exertion. It suggests that the horse is in control and is able to maintain its position without much effort.

A Buxton is another name for a breastcollar. A breastcollar is a piece of horse equipment that is used to secure the harness or saddle by going around the horse's chest. It helps to distribute the weight of the load and keep the harness or saddle in place.

Messenger was a grey THOUGHBRED which has crosses to all three of the Thoroughbred foundation sires, particularly the Godolphin Arabian, and although his sire was a trotter, Messenger never ran a trot race. While still in England, he started in 16 flat races and won ten of them. Messenger's races, usually less than two and half miles, were mainly "match" races in which the side bets far exceeded the purse.

When a horse is "blowing up," it means that the horse has had a very hard run, is not at its peak fitness, or does not handle the rigours of a race very well. This term is commonly used in horse racing to describe a horse that is struggling or losing stamina during a race due to fatigue or lack of fitness. It indicates that the horse is not performing at its best and may struggle to maintain its speed or position in the race.
