If you look carefully at the videos you can see suspension, which makes it flying pace so far as I'm concerned. I rode a friend's standardbred (ex racing trotter in harness) once on the oval track in a 5 gait class, and had a blast. She was 16.2hh and did all 5 gaits including an awesome flying pace/speed rack/redneck racing gait.
