Season Summary
Plainridge ran a spring-to-autumn meeting, so a season reads as a calendar of scattered afternoons rather than a continuous run. Purses across the surviving 2009 cards averaged $2,505 a race, which places the meeting in the regional class structure rather than the stakes tier.
Each date opens the full card for that afternoon. Where the official chart survives you get finishing positions, quarter-by-quarter running lines, winning times and closing odds; where only the entry sheet survives you get the field as drawn, with drivers, trainers and seasonal best miles.

Questions about this season
How many race days survive from 2009?
11 race days, carrying 102 races between them. The meeting ran spring to autumn, so a season is a scatter of afternoons rather than a continuous block.
How complete is the 2009 record?
0 of the 11 recovered days carry at least one fully charted race. The rest survive as entry sheets, which show the field as it was drawn but not the result.
Which months did racing run in 2009?
March, April and November. Only months with a surviving document appear.
Why are some 2009 race days missing?
Because the record is assembled from the documents that survive, not from a fixture list. Where a card was held but neither its programme nor its chart came through, that date has no page.
