The Record
Ralph H Andersen sent out 38 charted starters at Plainridge across 3 seasons, 2003 to 2005, drawn from a string of 16 different horses. Those runners produced 3 wins together with 9 further placings.
On 38 of those starts Ralph H Andersen 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 SECURED ALIBI (10), MIKE'S NIGHT (6), AMERICAN ZORBAZ (5), STEELYDANBLUECHIP (3). 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.
