The Record
Fernand A Paquet Jr appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 10 race days across the 2004 season, taking 69 drives behind 31 different horses. Those drives produced 14 wins, 18 seconds and 8 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 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 Fernand A Paquet Jr drove most often here were WILD CAMMIE (6), KEY LARGO GATOR (5), MY DADS THE BEST (5), X-FILES HANOVER (5). 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.
