What is Emma Smith-Chaston's strike rate?

Emma Smith-Chaston has won 47 of 454 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Emma Smith-Chaston do best at?

Sedgefield by strike rate: 12 wins from 68 rides (17.6%) 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 Emma Smith-Chaston ride most for?

Micky Hammond, with 310 rides since 2022 — 68% of the total. That pairing has won 39 (12.6%).

What is Emma Smith-Chaston's Fair A/E?

1.17, from 452 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 Sedgefield (17.6%, n=68) and Catterick (15.3%, n=59) — all clear of the rider's 10.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 24% (n=50, Fair A/E 1.33), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.3% (n=43, Fair A/E 0.57). Micky Hammond supplies 68% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.6% vs 10.4%, A/E 1.27) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well beyond 3m (17.8%, n=45). The record reads poorly in Class 3 — 2.6% over 39 rides, 7.8pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Larry Looby (IRE) — 5 wins from 9 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.4% 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.
