Questions about this card

Was this a trotting or a pacing card?

Mixed — 6 at the pace and 3 at the trot. Mixed cards were the norm here.

What was the total purse for the day?

$23,000 across the card. Purse is the money the race offered, split by finishing position.

Which class conditions were carded?

NW200PS09, 3000CLHC, NW300PS09, NW300PSL5 and NW450PS09, plus 1 other. Each one is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade.

How many races were on the card?

9 races, though none carries a full chart — what stands for this date is the entry sheet rather than the result. 65 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.

Where does 17 November 2009 sit in the season?

It was a Tuesday in November 2009. The meeting ran from spring into autumn rather than year-round, so a season reads as a scatter of afternoons and evenings — the 2009 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.
