The Record
We Know Miss Bo appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 4 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. One of those produced a win, and the horse finished in the first three on 2 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:58.0, set on Saturday, May 1, 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 direct comparison of raw times misleading.
The winner's line in the chart gives the breeding as BO KNOWS JATE out of CAN'T QUIT NOW, herself by BIG TOWNER. 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 We Know Miss Bo was entered in run to FMNW200PS, FMCLM, LADYPAT. 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 We Know Miss Bo most often were Michael J Girouard (3), 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.
