Comment Could you tell some specific and clearly visible feature that differentiate the nominated photo from these 1, 2, 3 for instance. Only the road surface vary but this is not given as something specific. As I understand, the races differ from one another by the horse gaits (Trot, Pace, Gallop) but do you think that the audience can make a difference out of a single photo. Furthermore, the harness racing, which you mention as a synonym, has another category here and according to this gallery it is quite a different racing (see here) deserving its own scope. In other words if we define the clear activity scopes 1. Horse Racing and 2.Harness Racing then what...? But otherwise your photo is very good and one of my favourites for the first out of the two scopes.--MrPanyGoff09:26, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In the nominated image, the horses are at a trot gait, which is a symetrical gait. On the other images, they are at a gallop gait, which is an asymmetrical gait. In harness racing, horses must not gallop. There are two kinds of harness races: in the first and more common one, the horses pull two-wheeled carts called sulkies; in the second one, the race is under saddle: it is monté racing. For racers—and gamblers—, these types of races are quite different. Monté racing is popular mainly in France, Belgium and Nordic countries. So, "monté racing" is a subcat of "harness racing", with related articles or stubs in various WP. --Myrabella (talk) 10:42, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Best in scope IMO. Very clear and complete explanations. The picture shows the symetrical gait very well. Info They are three racecourses in Paris, two in Bois de Boulogne (west of Paris)(named Longchamp & Auteuil), and one in Bois de Vincennes (east of Paris) (Vincennes). Auteuil is used only for "steeple-chase" races. Harness racing ("monté" or "attelé" -with sulky-) takes place in Vincennes only.--Jebulon (talk) 17:25, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
