The Record
Michael E Eaton sent out 52 charted starters at Plainridge across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, drawn from a string of 19 different horses. Those runners produced 3 wins together with 12 further placings.
On 50 of those starts Michael E Eaton 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 BUNNY TRAP (8), J SAKIC (6), CHARLIE WHISKEY (5), ALMOST INCREDIBLE (5). 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.
