The Record
Jean P Hamel sent out 6 charted starters at Plainridge across the 2004 season, drawn from a string of 3 different horses. No win appears in the charts held here, though the record shows 2 placings.
On 2 of those starts Jean P Hamel 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 SKIP BO RHULE (3), MARCHMEISTER (2), DON'S LEGACY (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.
