What is Ben Harvey's strike rate?

Ben Harvey has won 81 of 1,005 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.1% (as at 7 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Harvey do best at?

Wexford by strike rate: 7 wins from 68 rides (10.3%) 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 Ben Harvey ride most for?

John C McConnell, with 380 rides since 2022 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 47 (12.4%).

Is Ben Harvey in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 7 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Ben Harvey's Fair A/E?

0.99, from 1,005 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 200 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (70 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.7% (n=70, Fair A/E 0.83), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 4.2% (n=48, Fair A/E 0.60). John C McConnell supplies 38% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.4% vs 8.1%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in NH Flat races (32.6%, n=43). 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Magners Plate Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2023, £67,524). Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.1% 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.
