Driver

David L Ingraham

18 charted drives at Plainridge, 1 win, 5.6% strike rate.

The Record

David L Ingraham appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 14 race days across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, taking 18 drives behind 17 different horses. Those drives produced 1 win, 4 seconds and 3 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 post position 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 L Ingraham drove most often here were LU LU SPUR (2), FOX RIDGE RICHARD (1), SHARP REWARD (1), BELLA MOONA (1). 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.
