Harrison Shaw
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%".
Rides around 200 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.88). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 10% (71 rides).
The record is strongest at Catterick (12.2%, n=49) and Nottingham (11.8%, n=34) — all clear of the rider's 7% baseline. The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 4.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.78 and −58.00 to a £1 stake over 136 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Declan Carroll supplies 22% of the rides and edges the rider's average (9.3% vs 7%, A/E 0.89). The rider also reads well at trips under 6f (11.4%, n=219) and off a break of 180+ days (11.3%, n=53). The standout partner of the record: Maid In Manhattan (IRE) — 6 wins from 9 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Oct.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7% 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 Harrison Shaw's strike rate?
- Harrison Shaw has won 71 of 1,009 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Harrison Shaw do best at?
- Catterick by strike rate: 6 wins from 49 rides (12.2%) 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.

- Declan Carroll, with 227 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 21 (9.3%).
- What is Harrison Shaw's Fair A/E?
- 0.88, from 1,002 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.
