What is A P McCoy's strike rate?

A P McCoy has won 1,509 of 6,435 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 23.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does A P McCoy do best at?

Ffos Las by strike rate: 69 wins from 238 rides (29%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.

Which yard does A P McCoy ride most for?

Jonjo O'Neill, with 2,270 rides since 2008 — 35% of the total. That pairing has won 464 (20.4%).

What is A P McCoy's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 6,424 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 800 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 23% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 30% (1,428 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Wetherby (36.2%, n=116), clear of the rider's 23.4% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (11.2% over 385 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 30.3% (n=1,428, Fair A/E 1.06), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 14.9% (n=1,284, Fair A/E 1.05). Jonjo O'Neill supplied 35% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (20.4% vs 23.4%, A/E 1.09) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (36.3%, n=171). 112 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the John Smith's Grand National Chase at Aintree (Apr 2010, £521,053). The standout partner of the record was Albertas Run (IRE) — 11 wins from 26 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired May–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 23.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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.
