The Record
Mo Laag appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2002 to 2004, 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 0 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:57.3, set on Monday, September 30, 2002. 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 Mo Laag was entered in run to QUA, 4000CL. 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 Mo Laag most often were Shane J Taggart (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
How many starts does the record show for Mo Laag?
The record shows 1 charted start for Mo Laag, 2002 to 2004. The name appears on 2 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 Mo Laag finish in these races?
Not in the charts recovered here. Mo Laag shows 1 start without a win, though no placing inside the first three is recorded either.
What is the best time recorded for Mo Laag?
1:57.3, on 2002-09-30. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:57.3 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Who drove Mo Laag?
Shane J Taggart took every recorded drive — 1 start.
Was Mo Laag 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.
Which conditions was Mo Laag entered under?
QUA and 4000CL. 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 Mo Laag?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 35.90 to one. Odds are the closing figures printed on the chart, so they reflect what the pool decided at the off, not a forecast.
