What is Alex Edwards's strike rate?

Alex Edwards has won 31 of 319 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Alex Edwards do best at?

Worcester by strike rate: 2 wins from 34 rides (5.9%) 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 Alex Edwards ride most for?

Mel Rowley, with 211 rides since 2022 — 66% of the total. That pairing has won 20 (9.5%).

What is Alex Edwards's Fair A/E?

0.88, from 319 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 60 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.88). Rides mostly for Mel Rowley — 66% of rides in the window.

KTB at a glance Fires Feb–Mar Mel Rowley: 9.5% from 211

The read

It is weakest at Ludlow (5.1% over 39 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.5% (n=91, Fair A/E 0.57). Mel Rowley supplies 66% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.5%, A/E 0.78). The rider also reads well in Chase races (16%, n=94) and off a 31-60-day break (14.1%, n=92). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2.4% over 42 rides, 7.3pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Damut I'm Out (IRE) — 5 wins from 13 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.7% 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.
