A '''sulky''' is a lightweight two-wheeled, single seat, racing cart that is used in most forms of [[harness racing]] in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, including both [[Trot (horse gait)|trot]]ting and [[Horse gait|pacing]] races. Smaller sulkies are also used for dogs, both for racing and as [[transport|transportation]].
'''Jalapeño poppers''' are [[jalapeño]] [[chile pepper|pepper]]s that have been hollowed out, stuffed with a mixture of [[cheese]], [[spices]], and sometimes ground meat, and then deep fried. They are served (usually with some kind of dip) as appetizers at some Mexican- or Southwest-themed bars and restaurants.

Race sulkies come in two categories,

The asymmetric sulky was patented in Australia in the 1980s and came to prominence in 1987 when a two year old gelding named Rowleyalla used one to break the then world record for his category by a colossal seventeen times the biggest previous margin that any southern hemisphere horse had ever broken a world mile record. At 3.4 seconds under the existing mark, it was also the greatest margin by which any world harness racing record was broken in that year.

In 1990 the asymmetric sulky was introduced into North America, winning seven of its first nine starts at Freehold, NJ. Today the great majority of sulky manufacturers in North America are producing asymmetric sulkies.

An additional sulky type is the "team-to-pole" or "pairs" sulky, a lightweight single seat sulky designed for draft by two horses abreast.
These may also be split into two types, a) traditional pole and yoke with draft by traces, and b) dorsal hitch with draft direct from the saddle to the yoke and, via the pole, to the sulky.
Of the two, the dorsal hitch pairs sulky is the most recent, holding all current world pairs speed records over the mile
