What is Harry Challoner's strike rate?

Harry Challoner has won 77 of 1,036 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.4% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Harry Challoner do best at?

Musselburgh by strike rate: 4 wins from 32 rides (12.5%) 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 Harry Challoner ride most for?

Richard Ford, with 235 rides since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 23 (9.8%).

What is Harry Challoner's Fair A/E?

0.89, from 1,034 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

Rode around 100 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.89). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (90 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Kelso (0% over 31 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.6% (n=90, Fair A/E 0.95), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 3.5% (n=230, Fair A/E 0.54). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 5.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.78 and −249.62 to a £1 stake over 440 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Richard Ford supplied 23% of the rides and edges the rider's average (9.8% vs 7.4%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Heavy going (11.6%, n=129). The record read poorly in NH Flat races — 1.6% over 62 rides, 5.8pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record was Pret A Thou (FR) — 8 wins from 43 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.
