The Record
David J Marshall sent out 45 charted starters at Plainridge across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, drawn from a string of 13 different horses. Those runners produced 3 wins together with 19 further placings.
On 28 of those starts David J Marshall 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 BINNY'S SPIRIT (9), FUTILE QWEST (7), CANVASBACK CABARET (6), YES I SCOOT (4). A trainer who starts the same horse repeatedly at one track is usually placing it to a condition it can hold, which is the pattern worth reading in the table below.
