Get Flash to see this video.

Prairie Fire looks at harness racing through the eyes of Bill and Marty Alagna of Seymour, who show viewers how they prepare horses for racing. The Alagnas work their horses at the Champaign County Fairgrounds every night after leaving their day jobs, often working on the track after dark. “We watch the process of how they break the horses and train them by building up muscle and the respiratory system,”  Davis said.
