The Record

John H Dunleavy Jr appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 10 race days across the 2004 season, taking 14 drives behind 4 different horses. Those drives produced 2 wins, 0 seconds and 4 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 John H Dunleavy Jr drove most often here were CROWN YOU (6), CAR-LINS WAY TWOGO (4), C YIMBRK BLUEGRASS (3), ALMOST INCREDIBLE (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.
