The Record
Do Si Do Lavec appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 5 seasons, 2004 to 2009, with 2 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 2:04.0, set on Saturday, October 9, 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 comparison against the divisional marks misleading.
The classes Do Si Do Lavec was entered in run to NW200PS, NW500PS, QUA, NW2PMLT, NW1PMLT. 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 Do Si Do Lavec most often were David J Marshall (1), James E Hardy (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.

What were the odds on Do Si Do Lavec?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 1.30 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 many starts does the record show for Do Si Do Lavec?
The record shows 2 charted starts for Do Si Do Lavec, 2004 to 2009. 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.
