The Record
Greenwich appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2002 to 2003, 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 1 occasion.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:57.2, set on Monday, November 17, 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 Greenwich was entered in run to NW200PS, NW250PS, NW350PS, NW500PSCD. 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 Greenwich most often were Leigh W Fitch (3). 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
Which conditions was Greenwich entered under?
NW200PS, NW250PS, NW350PS and NW500PSCD. 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 Greenwich?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 3.80 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 Greenwich?
The record shows 4 charted starts for Greenwich, 2002 to 2003. 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. 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.
How did Greenwich finish in these races?
Not in the charts recovered here. Greenwich shows 4 starts without a win, though there was 1 placing — 1 second and 0 third — in the first three.
What is the best time recorded for Greenwich?
1:57.2, on 2003-11-17. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:57.2 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Who drove Greenwich?
Leigh W Fitch took every recorded drive — 3 starts.
Was Greenwich a trotter or a pacer?
A pacer — every charted start is at the pace. 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.
