1 charted start at Plainridge, best mile 1:58.3.

The Record

Heza Knit Witt appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2005 season, with 1 start 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 1:58.3, set on Monday, May 9, 2005. 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 direct comparison of raw times misleading.

The classes Heza Knit Witt was entered in run to NW200PS. 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 Heza Knit Witt most often were Ronald L Cushing (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.

Questions about this horse

Which conditions was Heza Knit Witt entered under?

NW200PS. 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 Heza Knit Witt?

The shortest price in the recovered charts is 4.10 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 times did Heza Knit Witt race at Plainridge?

The record shows 1 charted start for Heza Knit Witt, 2005. The name appears on 2 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.
