I thought that at a racing speed they paced with suspension between pair of lateral legs for a racing standardbred.

At flying pace the lift up front is very high, making the beat tend to 4-beat actually, and the horse is 'airborne' for longer between touchdowns. The hard pace tends more to the ground. :D
