What is B J Foley's strike rate?

B J Foley has won 26 of 546 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 4.8% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does B J Foley do best at?

Punchestown by strike rate: 3 wins from 35 rides (8.6%) 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 B J Foley ride most for?

Michael Winters, with 64 rides since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 2 (3.1%).

What is B J Foley's Fair A/E?

0.83, from 546 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 market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 4.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.83 and −291.75 to a £1 stake over 531 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Michael Winters supplied 12% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (3.1%, A/E 0.57). The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (9%, n=89). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 0% over 51 rides, 4.8pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.8% 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.
