The Record
P G Amberson appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 2 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 0 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 2:00.1, set on Monday, October 11, 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 direct comparison of raw times misleading.
The classes P G Amberson 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 P G Amberson most often were Michael E Eaton (1), John Hogan (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.

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 P G Amberson?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 20.00 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 P G Amberson?

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.

Not in the charts recovered here. P G Amberson shows 2 starts without a win, though no placing inside the first three is recorded either.
