PR Harness the record of the oval

Race Day

Monday, October 11, 2004

12 races at Plainridge Racecourse, pace and trot, $36,800 in purses.

The Card

The official chart survives for 12 of the 12 races on this card. Every line carries the finishing position, the post position drawn, the winning time and the closing odds as the judges recorded them.

The fastest mile of the afternoon was 1:55.4. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths rather than hundredths, so that trailing digit is a fifth of a second — the notation the sport kept long after other codes moved to decimals.

Winners on the day: CHAMP'S TKO, FUTILE QWEST, SWEET ZIPPER BELL, FIFTY FIVE CHEVY, FLICKERS LIKE GOLD, SENT FROM ABOVE, SENTRA, GEAUGA, GEMINI JENNY, LIPPIN MY KISS, AUTOMATIC SCORER, TOLEDO RED.

Questions about this card

How many races were on the card?

12 races, of which 12 carry a full chart with finishing positions. 93 horses appear across the card.

Are the payout figures available for this date?

Yes. The mutuel sheet for this card could be matched to it, so win, place and show prices appear with the races.

Where does 11 October 2004 sit in the season?

It was a Monday in October 2004. The meeting ran from spring into autumn rather than year-round, so a season reads as a scatter of afternoons and evenings — the 2004 index shows which other dates survive around this one.

Why do some dates show entries and others show results?

An entry sheet is printed before the race and lists the field as drawn, with post positions and the driver named at the time. A chart is written afterwards and fixes what happened: the order of finish, the beaten margins, the quarter fractions and the time. Scratches and driver changes fall between the two, so where both stand for one date they do not always agree.

Was this a trotting or a pacing card?

Mixed — 7 at the pace and 5 at the trot. Mixed cards were the norm here.

What was the total purse for the day?

$36,800 across the card. Purse is the money the race offered, split by finishing position.

What was the fastest winning mile on this card?

1:55.4. Harness times print as minutes, seconds and fifths, so the digit after the final point is a fifth of a second.

Which class conditions were carded?

NW200PS, NW7PMLT, FMNW200PS, OPEN and 3000CL, plus 5 others. Each one is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade.
