What is Conor Shoemark's strike rate?

Conor Shoemark has won 102 of 1,115 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.1% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Conor Shoemark do best at?

Exeter by strike rate: 8 wins from 43 rides (18.6%) 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 Conor Shoemark ride most for?

Fergal O'Brien, with 324 rides since 2008 — 29% of the total. That pairing has won 31 (9.6%).

What is Conor Shoemark's Fair A/E?

0.91, from 1,115 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 120 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 0.91). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (114 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Exeter (18.6%, n=43), clear of the rider's 9.1% baseline. It is weakest at Southwell (2% over 50 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.2% (n=114, Fair A/E 1.04), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.1% (n=162, Fair A/E 0.59). Fergal O'Brien supplied 29% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.6%, A/E 0.86). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (25.6%, n=43). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Majordomo Hospitality Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Dec 2014, £25,628). The standout partner of the record was Creevytennant (IRE) — 5 wins from 12 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.1% 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.
