What is Frank Hayes's strike rate?

Frank Hayes has won 7 of 297 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 2.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Frank Hayes do best at?

Cork by strike rate: 1 wins from 31 rides (3.2%) 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 Frank Hayes ride most for?

John J Walsh, with 54 rides since 2008 — 18% of the total. That pairing has won 2 (3.7%).

What is Frank Hayes's Fair A/E?

0.60, from 296 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 rides in big fields of 14 or more: 1.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.43 and −159.50 to a £1 stake over 179 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. John J Walsh supplied 18% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (3.7%, A/E 1.18) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well in Flat races (6.1%, n=33). The market has consistently overbet the rider on Heavy going: Fair A/E 0.00 across 81 rides (0% strike, −81.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 2.4% 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.
