Driver

Shawn T Gray

66 charted drives at Plainridge, 6 wins, 9.1% strike rate.

The Record

Shawn T Gray appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 41 race days across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, taking 66 drives behind 33 different horses. Those drives produced 6 wins, 5 seconds and 5 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 run to 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 Shawn T Gray drove most often here were DOCTOR WILL (8), VIC'S LEGACY (5), PARADISE CLYDEHIRT (4), LADDIE HANOVER (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.
