What is Cathal Landers's strike rate?

Cathal Landers has won 71 of 1,118 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.4% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Cathal Landers do best at?

Kilbeggan by strike rate: 8 wins from 60 rides (13.3%) 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 Cathal Landers ride most for?

Michael J McDonagh, with 129 rides since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (5.4%).

What is Cathal Landers's Fair A/E?

1.05, from 1,116 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 60 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.05). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (66 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Kilbeggan (13.3%, n=60), clear of the rider's 6.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.6% (n=66, Fair A/E 1.06). Michael J McDonagh supplies 12% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.4%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (14.5%, n=76). 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Tim Duggan Memorial Handicap Chase at Limerick (Dec 2017, £29,500). Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.4% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
