The Record
Denis Normandin appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 4 race days across the 2004 season, taking 4 drives behind 4 different horses. No win is recorded in the charts held here, though the record shows 0 placings.
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 Denis Normandin drove most often here were WAY CON TROT (1), CALL THE TROTTERS (1), BELONG TO ME (1), CHIACCIO (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.
