The Record
RC Focus appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, 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 1 occasion.
The fastest mile recorded here is 2:01.2, set on Monday, October 25, 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 RC Focus was entered in run to NW200PS, NW4PMLT, 5000CL OP, NW2PMLT. 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 RC Focus most often were Daniel R Daley (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.

Questions about this horse
How often did RC Focus go to the gate here?
The record shows 1 charted start for RC Focus, 2003 to 2005. The name appears on 5 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.
Did RC Focus ever win here?
Not in the charts recovered here. RC Focus shows 1 start without a win, though there was 1 placing — 1 second and 0 third — in the first three.
What is the best time recorded for RC Focus?
2:01.2, on 2004-10-25. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 2:01.2 is 2 minutes and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Who drove RC Focus?
Daniel R Daley took every recorded drive — 1 start.
Was RC Focus 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.
Which conditions was RC Focus entered under?
NW200PS, NW4PMLT, 5000CL OP and NW2PMLT. 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 RC Focus?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 2.90 to one. Odds are the closing figures printed on the chart, so they reflect what the pool decided at the off, not a forecast.
