The Record
Randal R Smith sent out 6 charted starters at Plainridge across 2 seasons, 2002 to 2005, drawn from a string of 5 different horses. No win appears in the charts held here, though the record shows 0 placings.
On 2 of those starts Randal R Smith 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 NO PAN DO (2), HESABULL (1), CRACKERJAC (1), PENN STARDUST (1). 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.
