Daniel T Sumner

43 charted drives at Plainridge, 1 win, 2.3% strike rate.

The Record

Daniel T Sumner appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 31 race days across 3 seasons, 2002 to 2004, taking 43 drives behind 29 different horses. Those drives produced 1 win, 3 seconds and 5 thirds.

A strike rate on a half-mile or five-eighths oval says less about a driver than the same figure at a mile track, because the draw and the run to the first turn decide a great deal before the field has settled. Plainridge ran on a five-eighths oval, which puts four turns in a mile race and rewards a driver who can hold a pocket rather than one who simply leaves fast.

The horses Daniel T Sumner drove most often here were ROSINE'S FUTURE (3), CHANCE IT (3), C R DIAMOND (2), ONLY CHIVAS (2). Repeated pairings usually mean a stable connection rather than a catch drive, and they are the most useful signal in the chart when reading a driver's form at a single track.
