An in-motion starting gate, particularly for horse racing tracks, is disclosed in which the horses are in uniform motion in the stalls at the starting gate at the time they are released. A lightweight starting gate, manufactured from tubular steel and/or aluminum, is supported above the ground by hydraulically powered wheels at each of the four corners, the wheels adapted to be turned in any direction. Each of the wheels is hydraulically driven through power means mounted on the gate structure. An operator station is also provided on the gate structure. Opening and closing of the gates is also hydraulically controlled.
