The Record
Bucky Rottweiler appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2002 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 0 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:58.4, set on Monday, September 23, 2002. 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 Bucky Rottweiler was entered in run to 5000CL, NW350PS. 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 Bucky Rottweiler most often were Brad D Irvine (1), Joseph R Therrien (1). 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.
