The Record
C Yimbrk Bluegrass appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2010, with 4 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 2 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 2:01.0, 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 comparison against the divisional marks misleading.
The classes C Yimbrk Bluegrass was entered in run to NW200PSL5, NW200PS, NW4PMLT, 5000CL OP, QUA, NW5PMLT. 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 C Yimbrk Bluegrass most often were John H Dunleavy Jr (3). 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.
