What is Derek Laverty's strike rate?

Derek Laverty has won 9 of 357 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 2.5% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Derek Laverty do best at?

Uttoxeter by strike rate: 2 wins from 52 rides (3.8%) 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 Derek Laverty ride most for?

Lisa Williamson, with 103 rides since 2008 — 29% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (3.9%).

What is Derek Laverty's Fair A/E?

0.60, from 357 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.

The read

The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 0% strike, Fair A/E 0.00 and −104.00 to a £1 stake over 104 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Lisa Williamson supplied 29% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (3.9%, A/E 0.62). The rider also read well on Good to Firm going (5.8%, n=69) and in Class 5 (5.5%, n=91). Seasonally, the rider fired Mar–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 2.5% 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.
