On 17 of those starts Ronald L Cushing 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 FRANCO TO GO N (4), MARKALAN A (3), TOP FLITE HANOVER (2), EICARLS RAMROD (2). 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.
