What is Dean Curran's strike rate?

Dean Curran has won 9 of 125 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Dean Curran do best at?

Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 4 wins from 36 rides (11.1%) 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.

What is Dean Curran's Fair A/E?

1.52, from 125 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 Dundalk (AW) (11.1%, n=36), clear of the rider's 7.2% baseline. First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 4.1% (n=73, Fair A/E 0.94). The rider also reads well on Standard (AW) going (11.1%, n=36) and on Soft going (10.3%, n=39).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.2% 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.

Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.
