Which course does Conor McNamara do best at?

Cork by strike rate: 6 wins from 30 rides (20%) 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 Conor McNamara ride most for?

E McNamara, with 267 rides since 2022 — 57% of the total. That pairing has won 24 (9%).

What is Conor McNamara's Fair A/E?

1.59, from 468 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Cork (20%, n=30), clear of the rider's 9.2% baseline. It is weakest at Fairyhouse (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.8% (n=48, Fair A/E 1.69), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 6% (n=167, Fair A/E 1.58). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 10.8% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 2.21 and +73.83 to a £1 stake over 120 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. E McNamara supplies 57% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9%, A/E 1.40) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 61-180-day break (13.3%, n=83). The record reads poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 4.2% over 96 rides, 5pts below the baseline. 9 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown (Dec 2022, £110,000). Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.2% 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.
