Joseph G Rankin sent out 4 charted starters at Plainridge across 2 seasons, 2003 to 2004, drawn from a string of 4 different horses. No win appears in the charts held here, though the record shows 1 placings.
On 2 of those starts Joseph G Rankin 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 SEARCH SASSY CASSY (1), PURE CAMMIE (1), ANOTHER APPEAL (1), NUCLEAR THREAT (1). 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.
