The Record
John A Di Stefano sent out 18 charted starters at Plainridge across 3 seasons, 2002 to 2004, drawn from a string of 7 different horses. Those runners produced 1 win together with 4 further placings.
On 14 of those starts John A Di Stefano 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 GRACIE DAY (5), J D'S BAMBINO (4), CODY'S MAGIC (3), CAPTAIN BLAKE (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.
