What is Jack Cleary's strike rate?

Jack Cleary has won 61 of 970 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.3% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Jack Cleary do best at?

Cork by strike rate: 6 wins from 34 rides (17.6%) 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 Jack Cleary ride most for?

A P O'Brien, with 227 rides since 2022 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 31 (13.7%).

Is Jack Cleary in form?

In the last 14 days: 20 rides, 2 winners, a strike rate of 10%. That is above the baseline of 6.3% since 2022.

What is Jack Cleary's Fair A/E?

0.86, from 968 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 Cork (17.6%, n=34), clear of the rider's 6.3% baseline. The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 4.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.85 and −213.92 to a £1 stake over 493 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the rider is firing: 2 winners from 20 rides in the last 14 days (10%, 3.7pts above the 6.3% baseline). A P O'Brien supplies 23% of the rides and beats the rider's average (13.7% vs 6.3%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record reads poorly off a 0-7-day break — 1.7% over 58 rides, 4.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Heavy going: Fair A/E 0.31 across 81 rides (2.5% strike, −73.67 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Goffs Million at Curragh (Sep 2025, £495,000).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.3% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 1 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.
