The Record
Bodacious Storm appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2003 season, with 3 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. None of those starts produced a win in the charts held here, though the horse reached the frame on 3 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 2:01.0, set on Tuesday, November 25, 2003. A harness time is written in minutes, seconds and fifths, so the final digit is a fifth of a second rather than a hundredth. On a track of this size like Plainridge a horse turns four times in a mile, which costs ground against the bigger tracks and makes reading one mile against another misleading.
The classes Bodacious Storm was entered in run to 5000CL OP, NW250PS, NW200PS, FMNW350PS, 10000CL OP, SOLSTICE. These are condition races rather than claiming events, so eligibility rested on money already won rather than on a posted purchase price.
The drivers who sat behind Bodacious Storm most often were Donald V Guidette Jr (3). Driver changes matter more in harness racing than the bare numbers suggest, because the same horse can be driven for early speed or held for a late quarter depending on who holds the lines.

Questions about this horse
What were the odds on Bodacious Storm?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 0.70 to one. Odds are the closing figures printed on the chart, so they reflect what the pool decided at the off, not a forecast.
How often did Bodacious Storm go to the gate here?
The record shows 3 charted starts for Bodacious Storm, 2003. The name appears on 6 race days in all once entry sheets are counted, because a horse can be drawn into a race and then scratched before it is run. That is what the programmes and result sheets hold, not necessarily the horse's full career: starts made at other tracks are outside this record.
Did Bodacious Storm ever win here?
Not in the charts recovered here. Bodacious Storm shows 3 starts without a win, though there were 3 placings — 2 second and 1 third — in the first three.
What was Bodacious Storm's fastest mile?
2:01.0, on 2003-11-25. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 2:01.0 is 2 minutes and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Which drivers sat behind Bodacious Storm?
Donald V Guidette Jr took every recorded drive — 3 starts.
Was Bodacious Storm a trotter or a pacer?
Both gaits appear in this record: trot and pace. That is unusual and is worth reading as the chart wrote it rather than as a settled fact.
What class did Bodacious Storm race in?
5000CL OP, NW250PS, NW200PS and FMNW350PS, plus 2 other conditions. Each code is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade — the class pages explain what each one admitted.
