The Record
Douglas L Gray appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 8 race days across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, taking 14 drives behind 6 different horses. No win is recorded in the charts held here, though the record shows 2 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 post position and the first turn decide a great deal before the field has settled. Plainridge measured five-eighths of a mile, 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 Douglas L Gray drove most often here were BID HANOVER (7), CR AIR RAID (3), BILLSBOYBOB (1), INSANE (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.
