The Record
J R Delegator appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2002 to 2003, 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 2:04.1, set on Monday, April 14, 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 direct comparison of raw times misleading.
The classes J R Delegator was entered in run to DEFENDER, 3000CL. 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 J R Delegator most often were Daniel T Sumner (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.
