The Record
T E's Cool Spring appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, with 16 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. 2 of those produced wins, and the horse finished in the first three on 10 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:56.2, set on Tuesday, September 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 comparison against the divisional marks misleading.
The winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as UXBRIDGE out of ADRE ANN IS HERE, herself by NUCLEAR LEGACY. 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 T E's Cool Spring was entered in run to NW450PS, FMNW300PS, FMOPEN, 4000CL OP, 3000CL OP, FMNW250PS. 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 T E's Cool Spring most often were David J Marshall (5), James E Hardy (4), Gregory J Annaloro (3). 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.
