The Record
Amayseing Clyde appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 4 seasons, 2003 to 2007, with 9 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. None of those starts produced a win in the charts held here, though the horse reached the frame on 1 occasion.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:56.3, set on Tuesday, September 7, 2004. A harness time is written in minutes, seconds and fifths, so the final digit is a fifth of a second rather than a hundredth. On a track of this size like Plainridge a horse turns four times in a mile, which costs ground against the bigger tracks and makes reading one mile against another misleading.
The classes Amayseing Clyde was entered in run to 3000CLM, 3000CL, NW300PS, NW200PSL5, NW200PS, NW250PS. These are condition races rather than claiming events, so eligibility rested on money already won rather than on a posted purchase price.
The drivers who sat behind Amayseing Clyde most often were Robert W Sumner (3), Greg D Bowden (2), Winston D Campbell (2). Driver changes matter more in harness racing than the bare numbers suggest, because the same horse can be driven for early speed or held for a late quarter depending on who holds the lines.

Was Amayseing Clyde a trotter or a pacer?
A pacer — every charted start is at the pace. A pacer moves its legs in lateral pairs, a trotter in diagonal pairs, and a horse is normally campaigned at one gait or the other.
Which conditions was Amayseing Clyde entered under?
3000CLM, 3000CL, NW300PS and NW200PSL5, plus 3 other conditions. Each code is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade — the class pages explain what each one admitted.
What were the odds on Amayseing Clyde?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 4.80 to one. Odds are the closing figures printed on the chart, so they reflect what the pool decided at the off, not a forecast.
How often did Amayseing Clyde go to the gate here?
The record shows 9 charted starts for Amayseing Clyde, 2003 to 2007. The name appears on 16 race days in all once entry sheets are counted, because a horse can be drawn into a race and then scratched before it is run. That is what the programmes and result sheets hold, not necessarily the horse's full career: starts made at other tracks are outside this record.
