The Record
C G Kathy Cam appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, with 5 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 0 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:58.4, set on Saturday, August 7, 2004. 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 five-eighths-mile oval 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 C G Kathy Cam was entered in run to FMNW200PS, 2000CL, QUA, FMNW3PMLT, NW200PS. 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 C G Kathy Cam most often were D J Whittemore (2), Paul A Silva (1), Brad D Irvine (1). 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.
