Driver

David J Marshall

74 charted drives at Plainridge, 8 wins, 10.8% strike rate.

The Record

David J Marshall appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 49 race days across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, taking 74 drives behind 38 different horses. Those drives produced 8 wins, 9 seconds and 19 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 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 David J Marshall drove most often here were BINNY'S SPIRIT (7), NOBLE COMET (6), T E'S COOL SPRING (5), CANVASBACK CABARET (4). 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.
