The Record
Loomis appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2005 season, with 1 start for which the official chart records a finishing position. One of those produced a win, and the horse finished in the first three on 1 occasion altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:56.0, set on Monday, September 26, 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 comparison against the divisional marks misleading.
The classes Loomis was entered in run to 5000CL, 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 Loomis most often were Brad D Irvine (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
Was Loomis 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.
What class did Loomis race in?
5000CL and QUA. 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 Loomis?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 1.50 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 Loomis?
The record shows 1 charted start for Loomis, 2005. The name appears on 3 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.
How did Loomis finish in these races?
Yes — 1 win from 1 start, a strike rate of 100%. Adding 0 seconds and 0 thirds, Loomis finished in the first three on 1 occasion.
What was Loomis's fastest mile?
1:56.0, on 2005-09-26. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:56.0 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Which drivers sat behind Loomis?
Brad D Irvine took every recorded drive — 1 start.
