The Record
Cash Flow appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 8 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. One of those produced a win, and the horse finished in the first three on 4 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:57.0, set on Saturday, September 4, 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 direct comparison of raw times misleading.
The winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as WESTERN HANOVER out of COST PLUS, herself by WARM BREEZE. Harness pedigrees are quoted in that order — sire, dam, then the dam's own sire — because the maternal grandsire carries much of the weight in judging a standardbred family.
The classes Cash Flow was entered in run to 2000CL, NW200PS, CLM. 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 Cash Flow most often were David J Marshall (4), Joseph Alongi (2), Graham Lewis (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 is the best time recorded for Cash Flow?
1:57.0, on 2004-09-04. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:57.0 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Who drove Cash Flow?
David J Marshall (4), Joseph Alongi (2) and Graham Lewis (2). The figure in brackets is the number of drives.
Was Cash Flow 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 Cash Flow entered under?
2000CL, NW200PS and CLM. 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 Cash Flow?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 1.80 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 Cash Flow go to the gate here?
The record shows 8 charted starts for Cash Flow, 2004. The name appears on 10 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 Cash Flow ever win here?
Yes — 1 win from 8 starts, a strike rate of 12.5%. Adding 1 second and 2 thirds, Cash Flow finished in the first three on 4 occasions.
