14 charted drives at Plainridge, 3 wins, 21.4% strike rate.

The Record

Joseph C Nassimos appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 13 race days across the 2004 season, taking 14 drives behind 8 different horses. Those drives produced 3 wins, 0 seconds 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 first turn decide a great deal before the field has settled. Plainridge ran on a five-eighths oval, 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 Joseph C Nassimos drove most often here were JALET BLUEGRASS (4), REEF THE GOALIE (3), SUMMUM ELITE (2), SHOPPING QUEEN (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.
