The Record
Secret Agent Pan appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, with 11 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 2 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:57.3, set on Tuesday, October 12, 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 reading one mile against another misleading.
The winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as PRECIOUS BUNNY out of BARDOT LOBELL, herself by NERO. 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 Secret Agent Pan was entered in run to GASBARRO, 4000CL, NW200PS, NW300PS, QUA, CLMHC. 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 Secret Agent Pan most often were Brad D Irvine (3), Joseph Alongi (2), Michael E Eaton (2). 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.
