The Record
Shiloh Rummy appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2007, with 9 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 6 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:55.3, 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 track of this size 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 CAMDEN BARRETT out of WHICH WAY, herself by STORM DAMAGE. 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 Shiloh Rummy was entered in run to NW500PS, NW400PS, NW300PS, NW200PS, NW350PS. 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 Shiloh Rummy most often were Ralph H Andersen (5), Winston D Campbell (2), Gregory J Annaloro (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.

Which conditions was Shiloh Rummy entered under?
NW500PS, NW400PS, NW300PS and NW200PS, plus 1 other condition. 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 Shiloh Rummy?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 1.10 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 Shiloh Rummy go to the gate here?
The record shows 9 charted starts for Shiloh Rummy, 2003 to 2007. The name appears on 14 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 Shiloh Rummy ever win here?
Yes — 1 win from 9 starts, a strike rate of 11.1%. Adding 4 seconds and 1 third, Shiloh Rummy finished in the first three on 6 occasions.
