What is Alan King's strike rate?

Alan King has won 6 of 245 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 2.4% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Alan King do best at?

Sligo by strike rate: 4 wins from 35 rides (11.4%) 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.

What is Alan King's Fair A/E?

0.87, from 245 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Sligo (11.4%, n=35), clear of the rider's 2.4% baseline. The rider also reads well off a 61-180-day break (6.1%, n=33). The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.00 across 86 rides (0% strike, −86.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 2.4% 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.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart.

Quick answers

What is Alan King's strike rate?: Alan King has won 6 of 245 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 2.4% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alan King do best at?: Sligo by strike rate: 4 wins from 35 rides (11.4%) 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.
What is Alan King's Fair A/E?: 0.87, from 245 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.
