Bicycle sulky gains for faster trotting horses
Discussion from De Horseman notes that faster horses gain more from lighter rigs. A 2:10 class trotter could beat the old sulky by three to four seconds with a bicycle sulky, while a 2:30 or slower horse gains less. Weight differences in drivers affect faster horses more, guiding the use of lighter rigs for champions.
