Driver

Kevin P Switzer

38 charted drives at Plainridge, 4 wins, 10.5% strike rate.

The Record

Kevin P Switzer appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 29 race days across 5 seasons, 2001 to 2005, taking 38 drives behind 32 different horses. Those drives produced 4 wins, 7 seconds and 5 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 run to 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 Kevin P Switzer drove most often here were SAND BUNNY (3), SEA BIRD (2), KDK NATALIE (2), KICK THE MARK (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.
