What is Conor McGovern's strike rate?

Conor McGovern has won 69 of 808 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.5% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Conor McGovern do best at?

Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 28 wins from 254 rides (11%) 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 Conor McGovern ride most for?

David O'Meara, with 184 rides since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 17 (9.2%).

What is Conor McGovern's Fair A/E?

1.02, from 804 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.

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.2% (n=79, Fair A/E 0.96), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 3.2% (n=125, Fair A/E 0.62). David O'Meara supplied 23% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.2%, A/E 0.81). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (16.2%, n=99). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 41 rides, 8.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.51 across 100 rides (3% strike, −35.20 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.5% 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.
