The Record

The classes On Ramp was entered in run to QUA, NW250PS, 5000CL OP, NW2PMLT, NW3PMLT, 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 On Ramp most often were Frank M Antonacci (1), Robert Tisbert (1), Markku J Vartiainen (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
What is On Ramp's win record at Plainridge?
Not in the charts recovered here. On Ramp shows 3 starts without a win, though no placing inside the first three is recorded either.
Is there a recorded winning time for On Ramp?
No. A time is only charted for a horse when the official chart for that race survived, and for On Ramp the recovered documents are entry sheets or partial cards. The starts are recorded; the mile rate is not.
Who drove On Ramp?
Frank M Antonacci (1), Robert Tisbert (1) and Markku J Vartiainen (1). The figure in brackets is the number of drives.
Was On Ramp 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 On Ramp entered under?
QUA, NW250PS, 5000CL OP and NW2PMLT, plus 4 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 On Ramp?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 2.20 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 times did On Ramp race at Plainridge?
The record shows 3 charted starts for On Ramp, 2003 to 2004. The name appears on 9 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.
