What is Dave Crosse's strike rate?

Dave Crosse has won 96 of 1,836 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.2% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Dave Crosse do best at?

Plumpton by strike rate: 10 wins from 96 rides (10.4%) 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 Dave Crosse ride most for?

Milton Harris, with 137 rides since 2008 — 7% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (5.1%).

What is Dave Crosse's Fair A/E?

0.88, from 1,828 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 100 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.88). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (85 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Plumpton (10.4%, n=96), clear of the rider's 5.2% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 11.8% (n=85, Fair A/E 0.84). Milton Harris supplies 7% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.1%, A/E 0.77). The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (15%, n=80) and beyond 3m (14.3%, n=98). Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Apr.

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.

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.
