PR Harness the record of the oval

Race Day

Tuesday, November 2, 2004

11 races at Plainridge Racecourse, pace, $37,300 in purses.

The Card

The official chart survives for 11 of the 11 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 1:54.4. 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: THE REAL TRUTH, SENTRA, CAREYS HIGH LIFE, TUCSON SMITTY, HARLEY DAVID, EDITOR HANOVER, ALOTA MARAUDER, TSM THUNDER RIDGE, ART ST PARTNERS, LITTLE BOSSMAN, MIGHTY THUNDER.

Questions about this card

What was the total purse for the day?

$37,300 across the card. Purse is the money the race offered, split by finishing position.

What was the fastest winning mile on this card?

1:54.4. 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?

2000CL, 3000CLHC, 3000CL, 4000CLHC and NW300PS, plus 4 others. Each one is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade.

How many races were on the card?

11 races, of which 11 carry a full chart with finishing positions. 94 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 Tuesday in November 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.

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.

Was this a trotting or a pacing card?

All pace races.
