The Record
Twin B Candy 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 3 occasions.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:55.3, set on Monday, April 19, 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 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 Twin B Candy was entered in run to FMOPEN, W1-3PMLT, FM OPEN, OPEN, FMOPENHC, OPENII. 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 Twin B Candy most often were Winston D Campbell (3), Shawn T Gray (2). 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
How often did Twin B Candy go to the gate here?
The record shows 5 charted starts for Twin B Candy, 2003 to 2004. The name appears on 9 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 Twin B Candy ever win here?
Not in the charts recovered here. Twin B Candy shows 5 starts without a win, though there were 3 placings — 1 second and 2 third — in the first three.
What was Twin B Candy's fastest mile?
1:55.3, on 2004-04-19. Harness times are read as minutes, seconds and fifths, so 1:55.3 is 1 minute and the rest in seconds — the final fifth is the digit after the last point.
Which drivers sat behind Twin B Candy?
