Orrin Phipps

19 charted drives at Plainridge, 3 wins, 15.8% strike rate.

The Record

Orrin Phipps appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 26 race days across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, taking 19 drives behind 2 different horses. Those drives produced 3 wins, 2 seconds and 0 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 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 Orrin Phipps drove most often here were SHINY DOLLY (12), CHOOCH (7). 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.
