Harness Racing: The Horse In Sport

From the wild and furious chariot races of the Ancient Greeks to the floodlit track of the Meadowlands in New York comes a thrilling sport that seems to have been made for filming. Though the races have changed, they have never been tamed: top horses leave the starting gates at 35 mph - almost as fast as a thoroughbred can gallop, and they can earn thousands of dollars with one winning circuit of the track.
