The Record
Hurry Curry appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2003 season, with 3 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 1:58.4, 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 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 Hurry Curry was entered in run to OPEN, OPENHC, 7500CL OP, NW500PS, NW2PMLT, NW3000L6. 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 Hurry Curry most often were Donald V Guidette Jr (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
How many times did Hurry Curry race at Plainridge?
The record shows 3 charted starts for Hurry Curry, 2003. The name appears on 9 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.

Not in the charts recovered here. Hurry Curry shows 3 starts without a win, though there were 2 placings — 2 second and 0 third — in the first three.
What is the best time recorded for Hurry Curry?
1:58.4, on 2003-11-17. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:58.4 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.

OPEN, OPENHC, 7500CL OP and NW500PS, plus 3 other conditions. Each code is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade — the class pages explain what each one admitted.
