The Record
Kim G Ireland appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 17 race days across 4 seasons, 2001 to 2004, taking 10 drives behind 5 different horses. No win is recorded in the charts held here, though the record shows 1 placings.
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 Kim G Ireland drove most often here were LUCKY BIG GUY (3), COOL FLAME (3), HE'S AH CORKER (2), THIS COULD B MAGIC (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.
