PR Harness the record of the oval

Driver

John Hogan

114 charted drives at Plainridge, 14 wins, 12.3% strike rate.

The Record

John Hogan appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 69 race days across 5 seasons, 2001 to 2005, taking 114 drives behind 44 different horses. Those drives produced 14 wins, 10 seconds and 11 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 post position and the first turn decide a great deal before the field has settled. Plainridge was a five-eighths-mile track, which puts four turns in a mile race and rewards a driver who can hold a pocket rather than one who simply leaves fast.

Questions about this driver

Which trainers engaged John Hogan?

How many drives does the record show for John Hogan?

114 charted drives across 69 race days, 2001 to 2005. Drives at other tracks are outside this record.
