The Record
Randal R Smith appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 9 race days across 3 seasons, 2002 to 2005, taking 9 drives behind 6 different horses. No win is recorded in the charts held here, though the record shows 0 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 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 Randal R Smith drove most often here were DAMIEN DEVILLE (2), MISTER GENDER (2), YANKEE VIPER (2), CRACKERJAC (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.
