On 13 of those starts Elmer L Smith 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 SORRY BOUT YR LUCK (6), HEADMASTER (5), KIZEMA N (1), CHARLOTTE'S HARPO (1). A trainer who starts the same horse repeatedly at one track is usually placing it to an eligibility band it can hold, which is the pattern worth reading in the table below.
