Fantasy Dash N

4 charted starts at Plainridge, best mile 2:00.2.

The Record

Fantasy Dash N appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2003 season, with 4 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 0 occasions.

The fastest mile recorded here is 2:00.2, set on Monday, May 19, 2003. 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 five-eighths-mile oval 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 Fantasy Dash N was entered in run to NW200PS, 2000CLHC, 2000CL, 5000CL. 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 Fantasy Dash N most often were Gregory J Annaloro (3), Daniel T Sumner (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.

The name appears on 5 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.
