Wayne J Mastro

29 charted drives at Plainridge, 2 wins, 6.9% strike rate.

The Record

Wayne J Mastro appears in the surviving Plainridge charts on 35 race days across 3 seasons, 2001 to 2004, taking 29 drives behind 12 different horses. Those drives produced 2 wins, 2 seconds and 4 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 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 Wayne J Mastro drove most often here were ZORBA (6), PLUNDER HANOVER (5), IMMORTAL BELOVED (5), FEDERAL EXPRESSION (3). 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.
