The Record
D J Whittemore sent out 5 charted starters at Plainridge across 2 seasons, 2004 to 2005, drawn from a string of 3 different horses. No win appears in the charts held here, though the record shows 2 placings.
On 5 of those starts D J Whittemore also held the lines. The trainer-driver is the ordinary case at a regional meeting rather than the exception, and it is one reason form at a track like this reads differently from a circuit where catch-drivers dominate.
The horses that appeared most often for this stable were SISTER CHRIS (3), OVER CONNECTED (1), BANKERS LANE (1). A trainer who starts the same horse repeatedly at one track is usually placing it to a class it can hold, which is the pattern worth reading in the table below.
