The Record
Roland J Sears III sent out 16 charted starters at Plainridge across 4 seasons, 2002 to 2005, drawn from a string of 7 different horses. No win appears in the charts held here, though the record shows 2 placings.
On 16 of those starts Roland J Sears III 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 LAUR-BOB (8), TROPIC CRUISE (2), GREEN FIELDS (2), FAST YANKEE (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.
