The Record
James C Davis appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 4 race days across the 2004 season, taking 6 drives behind 4 different horses. Those drives produced 2 wins, 1 second and 1 third.
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 run to 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 James C Davis drove most often here were PHILLY FIT (2), TREMENDOUS HIT (2), CALIPH HANOVER (1), DON'T TEASE ME (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.
