The Record
Cash My Ticket appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2004 to 2005, with 7 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 3 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:56.4, set on Monday, October 25, 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 CAM'S MAGIC TRICK out of LOVELY AMERICAN, herself by MATT'S SCOOTER. 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 My Ticket was entered in run to NW200PS, NW6PMLT. 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 My Ticket most often were Todd M Kolbe (5), John S Nason (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 Cash My Ticket's fastest mile?
1:56.4, on 2004-10-25. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:56.4 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Which drivers sat behind Cash My Ticket?
Todd M Kolbe (5) and John S Nason (2). The figure in brackets is the number of drives.
Was Cash My Ticket 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.
What class did Cash My Ticket race in?
NW200PS and NW6PMLT. 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 My Ticket?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 1.10 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 Cash My Ticket go to the gate here?
The record shows 7 charted starts for Cash My Ticket, 2004 to 2005. The name appears on 8 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 My Ticket ever win here?
Yes — 1 win from 7 starts, a strike rate of 14.3%. Adding 2 seconds and 0 thirds, Cash My Ticket finished in the first three on 3 occasions.
