Which course does Gavin Sheehan do best at?

Huntingdon by strike rate: 34 wins from 117 rides (29.1%) 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.

Which yard does Gavin Sheehan ride most for?

Jamie Snowden, with 936 rides since 2022 — 40% of the total. That pairing has won 229 (24.5%).

Is Gavin Sheehan in form?

In the last 14 days: 27 rides, 8 winners, a strike rate of 29.6%. That is above the baseline of 18.6% since 2022.

What is Gavin Sheehan's Fair A/E?

1.13, from 2,307 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 Huntingdon (29.1%, n=117), clear of the rider's 18.6% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (7.4% over 94 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 22.8% (n=377, Fair A/E 1.07), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 9.3% (n=247, Fair A/E 1.23). Right now the rider is firing: 8 winners from 27 rides in the last 14 days (29.6%, 11pts above the 18.6% baseline). Jamie Snowden supplies 40% of the rides and beats the rider's average (24.5% vs 18.6%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (37.7%, n=53). 45 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham (Mar 2015, £170,850). The standout partner of the record: Chapmanshype (IRE) — 8 wins from 23 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 18.6% 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.
