Driver

Lloyd A MacDonald

35 charted drives at Plainridge, 6 wins, 17.1% strike rate.

The Record

Lloyd A MacDonald appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 10 race days across 2 seasons, 2004 to 2005, taking 35 drives behind 12 different horses. Those drives produced 6 wins, 4 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 post position and 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 Lloyd A MacDonald drove most often here were MISS SERENA (8), LIPPIN MY KISS (6), MOVE OVER BABY (6), SAKROLOGIST (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.
