The Record
Winsome Scooter appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 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 0 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 2:06.3, set on Saturday, October 4, 2003. 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 direct comparison of raw times misleading.
The classes Winsome Scooter was entered in run to QUA, FMNW200PS, NW2PMLT, FMNW3PMLT. 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 Winsome Scooter most often were Michael E Eaton (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
What is the best time recorded for Winsome Scooter?
2:06.3, on 2003-10-04. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 2:06.3 is 2 minutes and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.

Was Winsome Scooter a trotter or a pacer?
A pacer — every charted start is at the pace. 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 Winsome Scooter entered under?
QUA, FMNW200PS, NW2PMLT and FMNW3PMLT. 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 Winsome Scooter?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 76.70 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 many times did Winsome Scooter race at Plainridge?
The record shows 1 charted start for Winsome Scooter, 2003 to 2005. The name appears on 9 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.
What is Winsome Scooter's win record at Plainridge?
Not in the charts recovered here. Winsome Scooter shows 1 start without a win, though no placing inside the first three is recorded either.
