The read

The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 3.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.66 and −103.00 to a £1 stake over 166 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. T J Taaffe supplied 32% of the rides and beats the rider's average (12.7% vs 5%, A/E 1.32) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (9.3%, n=54) and off a break of 180+ days (10%, n=30). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 0% over 33 rides, 5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.54 across 93 rides (3.2% strike, −73.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Paddy Power Handicap Chase at Leopardstown (Dec 2006, £108,600).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
