The Record
Awesome Glow appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 2 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 1:58.2, set on Monday, October 11, 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 comparison against the divisional marks misleading.
The classes Awesome Glow was entered in run to NW4PMLT, 5000CL OP, NW7PMLT. 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 Awesome Glow most often were Todd M Kolbe (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.

Questions about this horse
What was Awesome Glow's fastest mile?
1:58.2, on 2004-10-11. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:58.2 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Which drivers sat behind Awesome Glow?
Todd M Kolbe took every recorded drive — 2 starts.
Was Awesome Glow a trotter or a pacer?
A trotter — every charted start is at the trot. 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.
What class did Awesome Glow race in?
NW4PMLT, 5000CL OP and NW7PMLT. 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 Awesome Glow?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 9.10 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 Awesome Glow go to the gate here?
The record shows 2 charted starts for Awesome Glow, 2004. The name appears on 3 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.
Did Awesome Glow ever win here?
Not in the charts recovered here. Awesome Glow shows 2 starts without a win, though there was 1 placing — 0 second and 1 third — in the first three.
