What is Brian Toomey's strike rate?

Brian Toomey has won 54 of 736 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Brian Toomey do best at?

Sedgefield by strike rate: 8 wins from 66 rides (12.1%) 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 Brian Toomey ride most for?

Tony Coyle, with 80 rides since 2008 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (8.8%).

What is Brian Toomey's Fair A/E?

0.87, from 735 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

Rode around 80 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.87). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (57 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Bangor-on-Dee (0% over 33 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.8% (n=57, Fair A/E 0.91), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.4% (n=165, Fair A/E 0.53). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.59 and −76.00 to a £1 stake over 146 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Tony Coyle supplied 11% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.8%, A/E 0.79). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (24.4%, n=45). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 69 rides, 7.3pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fired Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.3% 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.
