Actually I grew up around Harness racing, and my dad still owns like 4 races.
"Trot" racing is just a different type of gallop. In harness there are "trotters" and "pacers." Trotters tend to run quite a bit slower, and they have a MUCH higher potential to "break" off stride.
There are no harness tracks out in Oregon where I just moved, which is kind of a bummer...my son loved to go watch "the horseys."
