The Record
Francis J Silva sent out 11 charted starters at Plainridge across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, drawn from a string of 2 different horses. Those runners produced 2 wins together with 3 further placings.
The stable engaged 5 different drivers over that period, so the horses were placed with catch-drivers rather than driven in-house.
The horses that appeared most often for this stable were MICHAEL DARLING (9), SCIROCCO (2). 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.
