1 charted start at Plainridge, 1 win, best mile 1:58.1.

The Record

Mitzi Lee Mahone appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 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 1:58.1, set on Tuesday, September 7, 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 track of this size 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 winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as ALBERT ALBERT out of STYLISH DORIS, herself by SET THE STYLE. Harness pedigrees are quoted in that order — sire, dam, then the dam's own sire — because the maternal grandsire carries much of the weight in judging a standardbred family.

The classes Mitzi Lee Mahone was entered in run to 3000CL OP. 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 Mitzi Lee Mahone most often were Winston D Campbell (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.
