What is Alex Edwards's strike rate?

Alex Edwards has won 89 of 852 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.4% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Alex Edwards do best at?

Bangor-on-Dee by strike rate: 8 wins from 42 rides (19%) 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 Alex Edwards ride most for?

Mel Rowley, with 290 rides since 2008 — 34% of the total. That pairing has won 30 (10.3%).

What is Alex Edwards's Fair A/E?

0.93, from 851 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 Bangor-on-Dee (19%, n=42), clear of the rider's 10.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.9% (n=82, Fair A/E 0.78), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 6.3% (n=222, Fair A/E 0.63). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.77 and −77.47 to a £1 stake over 342 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Mel Rowley supplies 34% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.3%, A/E 0.85). The rider also reads well in Chase races (17.8%, n=275) and beyond 3m (19.2%, n=78). The market has also underrated the rider in Class 2: Fair A/E 1.88 across 51 rides (19.6% strike, +72.12 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly on Standard (AW) going — 4.5% over 111 rides, 5.9pts 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 10.4% 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.
