The Record

Mind And Spirit appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2005 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 1:58.4, set on Monday, May 9, 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 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 Mind And Spirit was entered in run to NW300PS. 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 Mind And Spirit most often were Jon L Anderson (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.

NW300PS. Each code is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade — the class pages explain what each one admitted.

The shortest price in the recovered charts is 6.10 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 Mind And Spirit?

The record shows 1 charted start for Mind And Spirit, 2005. 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.

Not in the charts recovered here. Mind And Spirit shows 1 start without a win, though there was 1 placing — 0 second and 1 third — in the first three.

What is the best time recorded for Mind And Spirit?

1:58.4, on 2005-05-09. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:58.4 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
