The Record
Wild Cammie appears in the surviving Plainridge programs across the 2004 season, with 8 starts for which the official chart records a finishing position. 3 of those produced wins, and the horse finished in the first three on 6 occasions altogether.
The fastest mile recorded here is 1:56.2, set on Tuesday, September 14, 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 CAMTASTIC out of DO I DARE, herself by DARE YOU TO. 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 Wild Cammie was entered in run to 3000CL, 5000CL, 3BY3. 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 Wild Cammie most often were Fernand A Paquet Jr (6), John L Mac Eachern (1), David L Ingraham (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.
