Isabel Williams
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 90 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.90). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (57 rides). Rides mostly for Evan Williams — 95% of rides in the window.
It is weakest at Chepstow (7.2% over 69 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.3% (n=57, Fair A/E 1.22), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.2% (n=48, Fair A/E 0.75). Evan Williams supplies 95% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (11.1%, A/E 0.91). The rider also reads well off a 8-14-day break (16.7%, n=42) and in Class 4 (14.3%, n=161). The record reads poorly beyond 3m — 5.3% over 38 rides, 5.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.62 across 123 rides (6.5% strike, −69.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfair Exchange Stayers' Handicap Hurdle at Haydock (Nov 2021, £56,950). The standout partner of the record: Tour Ovalie (FR) — 6 wins from 23 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Apr.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 10.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.8% 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 Isabel Williams's strike rate?
- Isabel Williams has won 50 of 463 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.8% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Isabel Williams do best at?
- Newton Abbot by strike rate: 5 wins from 40 rides (12.5%) 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 Isabel Williams ride most for?
- Evan Williams, with 441 rides since 2022 — 95% of the total. That pairing has won 49 (11.1%).
- What is Isabel Williams's Fair A/E?
- 0.90, from 462 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.
