Jack Foley
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 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 22% (76 rides).
The record is strongest at Kilbeggan (22.6%, n=31), clear of the rider's 8.7% baseline. It is weakest at Fairyhouse (2.4% over 42 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 22.4% (n=76, Fair A/E 1.57), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 1.5% (n=68, Fair A/E 0.29). Thomas Mullins supplies 16% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (4.9% vs 8.7%, A/E 0.78). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 1.4% over 73 rides, 7.3pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the EMS Copiers Novice Handicap Chase at Punchestown (Apr 2022, £59,000). Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Oct.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.7% 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 Jack Foley's strike rate?
- Jack Foley has won 66 of 755 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.7% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Jack Foley do best at?
- Kilbeggan by strike rate: 7 wins from 31 rides (22.6%) 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 Jack Foley ride most for?
- Thomas Mullins, with 123 rides since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (4.9%).
- What is Jack Foley's Fair A/E?
- 1.02, from 754 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.
