The Record
Up Front Wildman appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, 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 1:55.3, set on Monday, September 27, 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 Up Front Wildman was entered in run to 3&4YOS, QUA. 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 Up Front Wildman most often were Fernand A Paquet Jr (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.

The shortest price in the recovered charts is 6.20 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 Up Front Wildman go to the gate here?

The name appears on 3 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.

Did Up Front Wildman ever win here?
Not in the charts recovered here. Up Front Wildman shows 1 start without a win, though there was 1 placing — 0 second and 1 third — in the first three.
