What is Ben Robinson's strike rate?

Ben Robinson has won 116 of 1,401 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Robinson do best at?

Catterick by strike rate: 11 wins from 67 rides (16.4%) 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 Robinson ride most for?

Brian Ellison, with 862 rides since 2022 — 62% of the total. That pairing has won 84 (9.7%).

What is Ben Robinson's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 1,391 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Catterick (16.4%, n=67), clear of the rider's 8.3% baseline. It is weakest at Thirsk (2.8% over 72 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.7% (n=192, Fair A/E 0.75). The market has consistently overbet rides on last-time-out winners: 11% strike, Fair A/E 0.67 and −43.66 to a £1 stake over 100 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Brian Ellison supplies 62% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.7%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (14.7%, n=95) and on Heavy going (16.2%, n=37). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 1.3% over 76 rides, 7pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Northern Spirit (GB) — 6 wins from 32 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.3% 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.
