What is Danny Sheehy's strike rate?

Danny Sheehy has won 29 of 554 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Danny Sheehy do best at?

Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 9 wins from 169 rides (5.3%) 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 Danny Sheehy ride most for?

M C Grassick, with 86 rides since 2022 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (7%).

What is Danny Sheehy's Fair A/E?

0.96, from 554 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.96).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=81, Fair A/E 0.00). M C Grassick supplies 16% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7%, A/E 1.54) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m – 1m1f (9%, n=122). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 0% over 53 rides, 5.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.18 across 113 rides (0.9% strike, −104.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.2% 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.
