The Record
John L Mac Eachern sent out 15 charted starters at Plainridge across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, drawn from a string of 8 different horses. No win appears in the charts held here, though the record shows 5 placings.
On 1 of those starts John L Mac Eachern 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 DUNMORE TOPAZ (4), EMERALD AVENUE (3), CHEVIE SILVERADO (2), KILKERRAN UNION (2). 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.
