The Record
Richard A Flanders appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 15 race days across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, taking 9 drives behind 3 different horses. No win is recorded in the charts held here, though the record shows 1 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 ran on a five-eighths oval, 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 Richard A Flanders drove most often here were SIGNAL HILL IRIS (4), VALERIA MARVEL (3), SIGNAL HILL IVORY (2). 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.
