The Record
Littlecountrygirl appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 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 0 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:59.2, set on Tuesday, August 10, 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 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 Littlecountrygirl was entered in run to 2000CLHC, 3000CL OP, 2000CL OP, FMCLM, QUA. 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 Littlecountrygirl most often were Brad D Irvine (2). 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
What were the odds on Littlecountrygirl?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 7.20 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 Littlecountrygirl?
The record shows 3 charted starts for Littlecountrygirl, 2004. 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.

What is the best time recorded for Littlecountrygirl?
