What is Alan Crowe's strike rate?

Alan Crowe has won 109 of 2,059 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.3% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Alan Crowe do best at?

Listowel by strike rate: 7 wins from 62 rides (11.3%) 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 Alan Crowe ride most for?

C Roche, with 698 rides since 2008 — 34% of the total. That pairing has won 59 (8.5%).

What is Alan Crowe's Fair A/E?

0.79, from 2,058 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 230 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.79). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 17% (129 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Listowel (11.3%, n=62), clear of the rider's 5.3% baseline. It is weakest at Galway (0% over 59 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17.1% (n=129, Fair A/E 1.25). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 3% strike, Fair A/E 0.61 and −637.48 to a £1 stake over 810 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. C Roche supplied 34% of the rides and edges the rider's average (8.5% vs 5.3%, A/E 0.89). 8 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Durkan New Homes Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown (Dec 2008, £65,000). The standout partner of the record was Clarkey (IRE) — 5 wins from 29 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.3% 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.
