Joseph Alongi

26 charted starters at Plainridge, 2 wins, 7.7% strike rate.

The Record

Joseph Alongi sent out 26 charted starters at Plainridge across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, drawn from a string of 5 different horses. Those runners produced 2 wins together with 3 further placings.

On 15 of those starts Joseph Alongi 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 P O T US (13), GAMBLING JOHN (5), SECRET AGENT PAN (5), ALL FOR THE KIDS (2). 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.
