The read

The record is strongest at Yarmouth (16.5%, n=103), clear of the rider's 9.8% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.2% (n=119, Fair A/E 1.12), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.2% (n=94, Fair A/E 0.54). William Haggas supplies 23% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.9% vs 9.8%, A/E 0.80). The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (22.1%, n=68) and over 1m5f – 2m (20.4%, n=49). The record reads poorly in Class 3 — 4% over 75 rides, 5.8pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.8% 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 6 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

Quick answers

What is Adam Farragher's strike rate?
Adam Farragher has won 118 of 1,209 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Adam Farragher do best at?
Yarmouth by strike rate: 17 wins from 103 rides (16.5%) since 2022. 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 Adam Farragher ride most for?
William Haggas, with 274 rides since 2022 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 38 (13.9%).
What is Adam Farragher's Fair A/E?
0.97, from 1,200 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
