The Record
Mar's Super Lu appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, with 8 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 1:59.1, set on Monday, September 27, 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 Mar's Super Lu was entered in run to NW300PS, QUA, 7500CL OP, 5000CL OP, NW200PS, BUNKERHILL. 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 Mar's Super Lu most often were Gregory J Annaloro (3), David J Marshall (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
What were the odds on Mar's Super Lu?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 1.00 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 Mar's Super Lu race at Plainridge?
The record shows 8 charted starts for Mar's Super Lu, 2003 to 2004. The name appears on 15 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 Mar's Super Lu's win record at Plainridge?
Not in the charts recovered here. Mar's Super Lu shows 8 starts without a win, though there were 2 placings — 0 second and 2 third — in the first three.
What is the best time recorded for Mar's Super Lu?
1:59.1, on 2004-09-27. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:59.1 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
