What is Jack Kennedy's strike rate?

Jack Kennedy has won 772 of 4,423 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 17.5% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Jack Kennedy do best at?

Down Royal by strike rate: 55 wins from 183 rides (30.1%) 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 Kennedy ride most for?

Gordon Elliott, with 3,496 rides since 2008 — 79% of the total. That pairing has won 659 (18.9%).

Is Jack Kennedy in form?

In the last 14 days: 22 rides, 4 winners, a strike rate of 18.2%. That is in line with the baseline of 17.5% since 2008.

What is Jack Kennedy's Fair A/E?

1.06, from 4,422 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

Rides around 230 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 18% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.06). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 27% (772 rides). Rides mostly for Gordon Elliott — 79% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Down Royal (30.1%, n=183), Thurles (25.7%, n=191) and Navan (23.8%, n=298) — all clear of the rider's 17.5% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 26.8% (n=772, Fair A/E 1.13), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 13.7% (n=1,699, Fair A/E 1.15). Gordon Elliott supplies 79% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (18.9%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a break of 180+ days (23%, n=430). 179 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Wellchild Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2021, £263,766). The standout partner of the record: Found A Fifty (IRE) — 7 wins from 16 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Oct–Dec.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 17.5% 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.
