The Record
Donald V Guidette Jr appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 20 race days across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, taking 32 drives behind 13 different horses. No win is recorded in the charts held here, though the record shows 11 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 Donald V Guidette Jr drove most often here were FIRST AUDITION (7), BONEFIDE STAR (5), HURRY CURRY (3), BODACIOUS STORM (3). 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.
