What is Danny Sheehy's strike rate?

Danny Sheehy has won 102 of 2,054 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Danny Sheehy do best at?

Gowran Park by strike rate: 13 wins from 117 rides (11.1%) 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 Danny Sheehy ride most for?

J P Murtagh, with 181 rides since 2008 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 18 (9.9%).

What is Danny Sheehy's Fair A/E?

0.93, from 2,053 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

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 the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.93). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 10% (114 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Gowran Park (11.1%, n=117) and Fairyhouse (9.5%, n=84) — all clear of the rider's 5% baseline. It is weakest at Killarney (0% over 47 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 9.6% (n=114, Fair A/E 0.86). J P Murtagh supplies 9% of the rides and edges the rider's average (9.9% vs 5%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5% 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.
