What It Means
This code appears in the Plainridge programs without an accompanying key, and its parts do not map onto the standard abbreviations with enough confidence to spell out a full reading here. What can be stated is how it was used, which is set out below from the races themselves.
In the programs held here WO2500L6 was carded 4 times for the pace (3) and trot (1), carrying purses from $5,000. The first appearance in this record is Apr 8, 2003 and the last is May 24, 2003, which gives a rough sense of how long the racing office kept the condition in rotation.
Conditions like this one are the machinery that keeps a small meeting competitive. Rather than grading horses by an official rating, the secretary writes an eligibility sentence and lets the entries sort themselves out. A card at a regional track therefore carries far more distinct class codes than an outsider would ever expect to find.
Race Days Carrying This Condition
Questions about this condition
What does the class code WO2500L6 mean?
A condition code as the racing office wrote it. The parts of this one cannot be decoded with confidence from the surviving sheets, so the page shows how it was actually carded rather than guessing at a reading.
How often was WO2500L6 carded?
4 races in the recovered record, 2003-04-08 to 2003-05-24. That is a count of surviving charts and entry sheets, so it is a floor rather than a total.
Was WO2500L6 raced at the trot or the pace?
Both: pace (3) and trot (1). The figures are race counts, so the condition leaned pace here.
What did WO2500L6 pay?
Purses of $5,000. Purse is the money on offer for the race, split by finishing position, and it is the most reliable indicator of where a condition sat relative to the rest of the card.
When did WO2500L6 last appear on a card?
2003-05-24, having first appeared on 2003-04-08. Both dates come from the surviving documents for those days.
