The Record
Richard E Robertson Jr sent out 50 charted starters at Plainridge across 4 seasons, 2001 to 2004, drawn from a string of 22 different horses. Those runners produced 5 wins together with 10 further placings.
On 2 of those starts Richard E Robertson Jr 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 DA BONE MAN (7), OLLIE'S QUICK (6), L DEES MASTROIANNI (5), WALLINGFORD (4). 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.
