What is Andrew Leigh's strike rate?

Andrew Leigh has won 73 of 1,087 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Andrew Leigh do best at?

Limerick by strike rate: 11 wins from 81 rides (13.6%) 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 Andrew Leigh ride most for?

Mrs John Harrington, with 401 rides since 2008 — 37% of the total. That pairing has won 35 (8.7%).

What is Andrew Leigh's Fair A/E?

0.97, from 1,086 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.

Rode around 140 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.97). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (86 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Limerick (13.6%, n=81), clear of the rider's 6.7% baseline. It is weakest at Tramore (0% over 32 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.8% (n=86, Fair A/E 1.71), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 3.2% (n=342, Fair A/E 0.71). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 4.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.74 and −120.50 to a £1 stake over 221 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Mrs John Harrington supplied 37% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.7%, A/E 0.90). The record read poorly on Good to Soft going — 1.3% over 80 rides, 5.4pts below the baseline. 17 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Tattersalls Ireland Dan Moore Memorial Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse (Apr 2007, £65,100). The standout partner of the record was Gemini Lucy (IRE) — 6 wins from 21 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Aug–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.7% 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.

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.
