The Record
John Hogan sent out 40 charted starters at Plainridge across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, drawn from a string of 16 different horses. Those runners produced 6 wins together with 8 further placings.
On 35 of those starts John Hogan 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.
