Ronald L Cushing — Plainridge Harness Driving Record

The Record

Ronald L Cushing appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 20 race days across 2 seasons, 2004 to 2005, taking 94 drives behind 52 different horses. Those drives produced 16 wins, 9 seconds and 12 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 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 Ronald L Cushing drove most often here were MARKALAN A (6), CANDY'S SECRET (4), WASTNEY N (4), FRANCO TO GO N (4). 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.
