Christian Howarth
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%".
Rides around 200 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.93). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 17% (102 rides).
It is weakest at Southwell (AW) (1.6% over 63 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.7% (n=102, Fair A/E 1.01), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.6% (n=63, Fair A/E 0.28). Alice Haynes supplies 21% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (24.6%, n=57). Seasonally, the rider fires May–Aug.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.8% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

Quick answers
- What is Christian Howarth's strike rate?
- Christian Howarth has won 76 of 978 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.8% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Christian Howarth do best at?
- Lingfield (AW) 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 Christian Howarth ride most for?
- Alice Haynes, with 201 rides since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (8%).
- Is Christian Howarth in form?
- Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 13 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Christian Howarth's Fair A/E?
- 0.93, from 972 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.
