The Record
Pick Me appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, with 6 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 2:04.2, set on Saturday, August 7, 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 an oval of five-eighths of a mile 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 Pick Me was entered in run to NW200PS, NW2PMLT, NW1PMLT. 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 Pick Me most often were Graham Lewis (6). 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 Pick Me entered under?
NW200PS, NW2PMLT and NW1PMLT. 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 Pick Me?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 7.70 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 Pick Me?
The record shows 6 charted starts for Pick Me, 2003 to 2004. The name appears on 10 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 Pick Me finish in these races?
Not in the charts recovered here. Pick Me shows 6 starts without a win, though no placing inside the first three is recorded either.
What is the best time recorded for Pick Me?
2:04.2, on 2004-08-07. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 2:04.2 is 2 minutes and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Who drove Pick Me?
Graham Lewis took every recorded drive — 6 starts.
Was Pick Me 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.
