What is Christian Williams's strike rate?

Christian Williams has won 108 of 1,143 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Christian Williams do best at?

Exeter by strike rate: 13 wins from 63 rides (20.6%) 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 Christian Williams ride most for?

Evan Williams, with 142 rides since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (9.2%).

What is Christian Williams's Fair A/E?

0.82, from 1,141 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 190 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.82). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (136 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Exeter (20.6%, n=63), clear of the rider's 9.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.7% (n=136, Fair A/E 0.82), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6% (n=302, Fair A/E 0.84). Evan Williams supplied 12% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.2%, A/E 0.64). The record read poorly in Class 1 — 2.8% over 72 rides, 6.6pts below the baseline. 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Williamhill.com Handicap Chase at Doncaster (Jan 2009, £61,960). The standout partner of the record was Westfield Dancer (IRE) — 5 wins from 9 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.4% 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.
