The Record
John S Nason sent out 24 charted starters at Plainridge across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, drawn from a string of 11 different horses. Those runners produced 3 wins together with 10 further placings.
On 24 of those starts John S Nason 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 JUST PLAIN HENRY (7), SILK'S FILLY PJ (5), AUSSIE WICKER (3), HOOT POCKET CHANGE (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.
