The Record
John S Nason appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 23 race days across 3 seasons, 2002 to 2004, taking 34 drives behind 16 different horses. Those drives produced 5 wins, 5 seconds and 6 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 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.
The horses John S Nason drove most often here were JUST PLAIN HENRY (7), SILK'S FILLY PJ (5), GEAUGA (4), AUSSIE WICKER (3). 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.
