The video introduces a new starting gate for harness racing at Roosevelt Raceway, designed by Steve Phillips. The gate features folding wings on an extended car chassis, allowing for a smooth start for up to ten horses. The operation involves the vehicle moving with extended wings, aligning horses, and then folding the wings as the race begins. This innovation is expected to revolutionize harness racing, similar to past advancements like the bicycle wheel sulky.
