The Record
Monster Sahbra appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2003 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 0 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 2:05.0, set on Tuesday, November 25, 2003. 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 classes Monster Sahbra was entered in run to NW200PS. 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 Monster Sahbra most often were Todd M O'Dea (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
Which conditions was Monster Sahbra entered under?
NW200PS. 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 Monster Sahbra?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 12.40 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 Monster Sahbra?
The record shows 1 charted start for Monster Sahbra, 2003. The name appears on 7 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 Monster Sahbra finish in these races?
Not in the charts recovered here. Monster Sahbra shows 1 start without a win, though no placing inside the first three is recorded either.
What is the best time recorded for Monster Sahbra?
2:05.0, on 2003-11-25. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 2:05.0 is 2 minutes and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Who drove Monster Sahbra?
Todd M O'Dea took every recorded drive — 1 start.
Was Monster Sahbra 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.
