What is Gavin Sheehan's strike rate?

Gavin Sheehan has won 1,006 of 5,869 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 17.1% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Gavin Sheehan do best at?

Wetherby by strike rate: 38 wins from 163 rides (23.3%) 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 Gavin Sheehan ride most for?

Jamie Snowden, with 1,490 rides since 2008 — 25% of the total. That pairing has won 344 (23.1%).

Is Gavin Sheehan in form?

In the last 14 days: 28 rides, 10 winners, a strike rate of 35.7%. That is above the baseline of 17.1% since 2008.

What is Gavin Sheehan's Fair A/E?

1.13, from 5,862 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 310 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 17% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.13). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 24% (912 rides). The rider is in form now — 10 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Catterick (32.4%, n=74), clear of the rider's 17.1% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 23.9% (n=912, Fair A/E 1.09), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 9.4% (n=818, Fair A/E 1.21). Right now the rider is firing: 10 winners from 28 rides in the last 14 days (35.7%, 18.6pts above the 17.1% baseline). Jamie Snowden supplies 25% of the rides and beats the rider's average (23.1% vs 17.1%, A/E 1.14) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (29.3%, n=75). 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 Oct–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 17.1% 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.

Quick answers

What is Gavin Sheehan's strike rate?: Gavin Sheehan has won 1,006 of 5,869 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 17.1% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Gavin Sheehan do best at?: Wetherby by strike rate: 38 wins from 163 rides (23.3%) 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 Gavin Sheehan ride most for?: Jamie Snowden, with 1,490 rides since 2008 — 25% of the total. That pairing has won 344 (23.1%).
Is Gavin Sheehan in form?: In the last 14 days: 28 rides, 10 winners, a strike rate of 35.7%. That is above the baseline of 17.1% since 2008.
What is Gavin Sheehan's Fair A/E?: 1.13, from 5,862 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.
