PR Harness the record of the oval

Driver

Jean P Hamel

2 charted drives at Plainridge.

The Record

Jean P Hamel appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 2 race days across the 2004 season, taking 2 drives behind 1 horse. No win is recorded in the charts held here, though the record shows 1 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 Jean P Hamel drove most often here were MARCHMEISTER (2). 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.
