Paul A Silva

27 charted starters at Plainridge, 2 wins, 7.4% strike rate.

The Record

Paul A Silva sent out 27 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 4 further placings.

On 26 of those starts Paul A Silva 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 WESTERN WINGS (13), KEHMMY (9), WIN ONE (3), OXFORD JOE (1). 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.
