What is Ben Coen's strike rate?

Ben Coen has won 429 of 4,568 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.4% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Coen do best at?

Tipperary by strike rate: 21 wins from 113 rides (18.6%) 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 Ben Coen ride most for?

J P Murtagh, with 1,697 rides since 2008 — 37% of the total. That pairing has won 228 (13.4%).

In the last 14 days: 27 rides, 3 winners, a strike rate of 11.1%. That is in line with the baseline of 9.4% since 2008.

What is Ben Coen's Fair A/E?

1.00, from 4,560 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 240 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (424 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Tipperary (18.6%, n=113), Fairyhouse (16.5%, n=139) and Gowran Park (14.5%, n=359) — all clear of the rider's 9.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.4% (n=424, Fair A/E 0.99). J P Murtagh supplies 37% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.4% vs 9.4%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 38 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Sky Bet Ebor Handicap at York (Aug 2021, £300,000).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.4% 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 7 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 5 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 6 runs (won 2) · fastest on KTB Speed in 5 runs (won 2) · to 13 Nov 2026.
