The Record
Outtacontrol appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, with 3 starts 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 1 occasion.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:57.4, set on Tuesday, November 2, 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 track of this size 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 Outtacontrol was entered in run to NW300PS, NW350PS, NW500PS. 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 Outtacontrol most often were James E Hardy (1), Leigh W Fitch (1), Michael E Eaton (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.

Was Outtacontrol 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 Outtacontrol entered under?
NW300PS, NW350PS and NW500PS. 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 Outtacontrol?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 3.10 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 Outtacontrol go to the gate here?
The record shows 3 charted starts for Outtacontrol, 2003 to 2004. Those fall across 3 race days. 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.
