The Record
Cr Dawn Patrol appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 1 start 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 1:58.4, set on Monday, September 27, 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 reading one mile against another misleading.
The classes Cr Dawn Patrol was entered in run to 10000CL OP, CLMHC. 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 Cr Dawn Patrol most often were Winston D Campbell (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.

How often did Cr Dawn Patrol go to the gate here?

The name appears on 2 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.

Did Cr Dawn Patrol ever win here?
Not in the charts recovered here. Cr Dawn Patrol shows 1 start without a win, though there was 1 placing — 1 second and 0 third — in the first three.
