RUS Ontario is a group of Standardbred horse racing participants, breeders, and fans of Racing Under Saddle. RUS is famously known as ‘Trot Monté’ racing, a hybrid of harness and thoroughbred racing that has gained popularity in Europe.
The sport takes Standardbred horses, a breed more popular for racing with a sulky (race bike) and a driver, and puts a rider and saddle on top! RUS Ontario is an exciting addition to the North American racing scene. Mostly raced overseas, pari-mutuel wagering was introduced to Canada in 2014. The first wagering race in North America took place at Clinton Raceway in 2014.
