ABSTRACT:
A fender assembly for a harness racing sulky of a variety having at least one bifurcate wheel support including a pair of downwardly-extending fork members spaced-apart to receive a wheel of a given circumference therebetween and an arcuate portion extending above the wheel intermediate the fork members. In one embodiment, a mounting bracket having an upper surface and a lower surface is attachable to the wheel support to extend above the support over the wheel. A fender is provided as having an inner and outer surface defining a generally curved periphery corresponding to the circumference of the wheel. The fender is removably fastenable with a fastener at a proximal end to the upper surface of the mounting bracket for rearward suspension over a portion of the circumference of the wheel from the proximal end to a freely-extending distal end. In a preferred embodiment, the fender assembly includes a generally T-shaped mount having a central permanent fender securement portion which extends to an outboard first portion to which is coupled a flexible strap and connector post assembly which is wrapped about the downwardly curving portion of the arch. Opposite the central fender supporting portion is a second portion which extends substantially to the point of connection of the forward shaft and arch of the sulky frame. A third portion of the mount includes a rearward hook which engages the arch and a forwardly extending stabilizer bar to which a second flexible strap connector and connector post is attached for connection with the sulky shaft.
