What is Daryl Jacob's strike rate?

Daryl Jacob has won 93 of 627 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 14.8% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Daryl Jacob do best at?

Ayr by strike rate: 14 wins from 53 rides (26.4%) 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 Daryl Jacob ride most for?

S R B Crawford, with 135 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 22 (16.3%).

What is Daryl Jacob's Fair A/E?

0.98, from 625 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 Ayr (26.4%, n=53), clear of the rider's 14.8% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (2.9% over 34 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.2% (n=89, Fair A/E 1.01), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.1% (n=118, Fair A/E 0.64). S R B Crawford supplies 22% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (16.3%, A/E 0.92). The rider also reads well on Heavy going (26.6%, n=64). The record reads poorly on Good to Soft going — 8.2% over 171 rides, 6.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 2m5f – 3m: Fair A/E 0.74 across 135 rides (9.6% strike, −62.16 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 110 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the John Smith's Grand National Chase at Aintree (Apr 2012, £547,268). The standout partner of the record: Sceau Royal (FR) — 15 wins from 42 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Dec–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.8% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
