The Record
Paul H Magan appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 26 race days across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, taking 17 drives behind 4 different horses. Those drives produced 4 wins, 2 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 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 Paul H Magan drove most often here were IDYL RIVER BONNIE (9), IDYL RIVER CHRIS (4), IDYL RIVER PAUL (3), IDYL RIVER STACEY (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.
