Indy Glow

1 charted start at Plainridge, best mile 1:58.2.

The Record

Indy Glow appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 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 1 occasion.

The fastest mile recorded here is 1:58.2, set on Tuesday, April 20, 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 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 direct comparison of raw times misleading.

The classes Indy Glow 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 Indy Glow most often were Shane J Taggart (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 shortest price in the recovered charts is 10.80 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 times did Indy Glow race at Plainridge?

The record shows 1 charted start for Indy Glow, 2004. Those fall across 1 race day. 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.

Shane J Taggart took every recorded drive — 1 start.

Was Indy Glow 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.

Which conditions was Indy Glow entered under?

NW200PS. Each code is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade — the class pages explain what each one admitted.
