Pritneer Loggin

7 charted starts at Plainridge, 1 win, best mile 1:54.3.

The Record

Pritneer Loggin appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, with 7 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. One of those produced a win, and the horse finished in the first three on 4 occasions altogether.

The fastest mile recorded here is 1:54.3, set on Tuesday, August 3, 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 comparison against the divisional marks misleading.

The winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as SAN ANDRE out of BEAUTIFUL LEE, herself by BIG TOWNER. Harness pedigrees are quoted in that order — sire, dam, then the dam's own sire — because the maternal grandsire carries much of the weight in judging a standardbred family.

The classes Pritneer Loggin was entered in run to NW300PS, NW400PS, NW5PMLT, STARSEARCH. 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 Pritneer Loggin most often were Michael L Cushing (6), Ronald L Cushing (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 Pritneer Loggin 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 Pritneer Loggin entered under?

NW300PS, NW400PS, NW5PMLT and STARSEARCH. 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 Pritneer Loggin?

The shortest price in the recovered charts is 1.40 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 Pritneer Loggin go to the gate here?

The record shows 7 charted starts for Pritneer Loggin, 2003 to 2005. 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.
