The Record
Callaway Killean appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across 4 seasons, 2004 to 2009, with 2 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 1:58.1, set on Monday, September 26, 2005. 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 direct comparison of raw times misleading.
The classes Callaway Killean was entered in run to AMATEUR, 3000CL, 5000CLHC. 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 Callaway Killean most often were James E Hardy (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.

Questions about this horse
Which drivers sat behind Callaway Killean?
James E Hardy took every recorded drive — 1 start.
Was Callaway Killean a trotter or a pacer?
A pacer — every charted start is at the pace. A pacer moves its legs in lateral pairs, a trotter in diagonal pairs, and a horse is normally campaigned at one gait or the other.
What class did Callaway Killean race in?
AMATEUR, 3000CL and 5000CLHC. Each code is a set of eligibility conditions rather than a grade — the class pages explain what each one admitted.
What were the odds on Callaway Killean?
The shortest price in the recovered charts is 22.20 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 Callaway Killean go to the gate here?
The record shows 2 charted starts for Callaway Killean, 2004 to 2009. The name appears on 7 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 Callaway Killean ever win here?
Not in the charts recovered here. Callaway Killean shows 2 starts without a win, though no placing inside the first three is recorded either.
What was Callaway Killean's fastest mile?
1:58.1, on 2005-09-26. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:58.1 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
