The Record
Cam Jiffy appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 4 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. 2 of those produced wins, and the horse finished in the first three on 2 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:54.3, set on Tuesday, October 12, 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 winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as VILLAGE JIFFY out of HASTE HANOVER, herself by NO NUKES. Harness pedigrees are quoted in that order — sire, dam, then the dam's own sire — because the maternal grandsire carries much of the weight in judging a standardbred family.
The classes Cam Jiffy was entered in run to 15000CLHC, 10000CLHC, 10000CL. 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 Cam Jiffy most often were Brad D Irvine (4). 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.
