The Record
Ruel A Goodblood Jr appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 8 race days across 2 seasons, 2001 to 2002, taking 10 drives behind 9 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 run to 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 Ruel A Goodblood Jr drove most often here were ANOTHER APPEAL (2), MATTELITE (1), EURASIA (1), RACE ME G HOSSAFAT (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.
