2 charted starts at Plainridge, best mile 1:55.4.

The Record

Galactic Council N appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, 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 0 occasions.

The fastest mile recorded here is 1:55.4, set on Tuesday, September 14, 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 classes Galactic Council N was entered in run to OPEN. 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 Galactic Council N most often were Neville W Ryan (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.
