About Harness Racing

After disappearing in Manitoba for 30 years, live harness racing began calling Winnipeg home once again in 2023! Harness racing is a form of horse racing in which the horses race at a specific gait (a trot or pace). They pull a two-wheeled cart called a sulky. Committed to the promotion and success of the sport, Manitoba Harness Racing offers a helpful FAQ page on the specifics of the sport and how to wager on it.
