Ralph H Andersen — Plainridge Harness Driving Record

The Record

Ralph H Andersen appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 79 race days across 5 seasons, 2001 to 2005, taking 153 drives behind 47 different horses. Those drives produced 13 wins, 16 seconds and 20 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 Ralph H Andersen drove most often here were SECURED ALIBI (10), MIKE'S NIGHT (6), THIRTY STARS (5), AMERICAN ZORBAZ (5). 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.
