Our Graedy N

1 charted start at Plainridge, best mile 1:57.1.

The Record

Our Graedy N 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 1:57.1, set on Monday, September 1, 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 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 classes Our Graedy N was entered in run to 12500CLHC, MIDSUMMER, 10000CL. 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 Our Graedy N most often were Kevin Lare (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.

What is the best time recorded for Our Graedy N?

1:57.1, on 2003-09-01. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:57.1 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.

Was Our Graedy N 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 Our Graedy N entered under?

12500CLHC, MIDSUMMER and 10000CL. 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 Our Graedy N?

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 often did Our Graedy N go to the gate here?

The record shows 1 charted start for Our Graedy N, 2003. The name appears on 3 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.
