6 charted starts at Plainridge, 1 win, best mile 1:59.4.

The Record

Mom's Nh Dot Com appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 6 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. One of those produced a win, and the horse finished in the first three on 4 occasions altogether.

The fastest mile recorded here is 1:59.4, 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 comparison against the divisional marks misleading.

The winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as SIR TAURUS out of ANGEL'S CO-PILOT, herself by COPTER LOBELL. 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 Mom's Nh Dot Com was entered in run to NW2PMLT, NW200PS, NW5PMLT, NW300PS, 3000CL OP, 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 Mom's Nh Dot Com most often were Elmer L Smith (6). 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 Mom's Nh Dot Com a trotter or a pacer?

A trotter — every charted start is at the trot. 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 Mom's Nh Dot Com entered under?

NW2PMLT, NW200PS, NW5PMLT and NW300PS, plus 2 other conditions. 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 Mom's Nh Dot Com?

The shortest price in the recovered charts is 1.60 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 Mom's Nh Dot Com?

The record shows 6 charted starts for Mom's Nh Dot Com, 2004. The name appears on 10 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.
