The Record
Crown You appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, with 6 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 2 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 2:01.4, set on Saturday, September 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 an oval of five-eighths of a mile 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 CRYSTA'S CROWN out of LITTLE YOU, herself by LITTLE MASTER. 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 Crown You was entered in run to 5000CL OP, 3000CL OP, NW200PS, NW1500L6, NW2500. 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 Crown You most often were John H Dunleavy Jr (6). 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
How many times did Crown You race at Plainridge?
The record shows 6 charted starts for Crown You, 2003 to 2004. The name appears on 17 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.
What is Crown You's win record at Plainridge?
Yes — 1 win from 6 starts, a strike rate of 16.7%. Adding 0 seconds and 1 third, Crown You finished in the first three on 2 occasions.
What was Crown You's fastest mile?
2:01.4, on 2004-09-25. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 2:01.4 is 2 minutes and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Which drivers sat behind Crown You?

Was Crown You a trotter or a pacer?
A trotter — every charted start is at the trot. 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 Crown You race in?
5000CL OP, 3000CL OP, NW200PS and NW1500L6, plus 1 other condition. 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 Crown You?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 3.40 to one. Odds are the closing figures printed on the chart, so they reflect what the pool decided at the off, not a forecast.
