Radical idea. Mechanical horses. Hear me out. You wouldn't be limited by 4 legs, you could modify these horses into abetter configuration. You could consolidate the mechanical horses into the wagon itself, and give the driver somewhere safe to sit, lower to the ground. And because they are mechanical you could boost the number of horses to make the race more exciting, and the wagons could be rated by the number of mechanical horse equivalents, or "horsepower" they have. Then you could race them around the track, no horses endangered, and drivers in a safe cage. Outriders could ride single mechanical horses, perhaps with 2 wheels instead of 4 legs. I don't know why no one has come up with this before.
