The Card
This is a qualifying card rather than a betting card. A qualifier carries no purse and no wagering: a horse simply has to complete the mile inside a set time standard, and without breaking stride, before it is allowed to start for money. Purses therefore read as zero throughout, which is correct.

Questions about this card
What is the difference between the entries and the chart?
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.
Which class conditions were carded?
QUA. Each one is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade.
How many races were on the card?
3 races, though none carries a full chart — what stands for this date is the entry sheet rather than the result. 16 horses appear across the card.
Are the payout figures available for this date?
No. Mutuel sheets were printed without a year on them, so a sheet is only attached to a card when at least three horse names match a date of the same month and day. Nothing matched here, and no price is guessed at.
When in the year was this card run?
It was a Saturday 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.
