What is James Corbett's strike rate?

James Corbett has won 28 of 523 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.4% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does James Corbett do best at?

Perth by strike rate: 6 wins from 57 rides (10.5%) 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 James Corbett ride most for?

Susan Corbett, with 494 rides since 2008 — 94% of the total. That pairing has won 28 (5.7%).

What is James Corbett's Fair A/E?

0.89, from 523 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 at a glance Susan Corbett: 5.7% from 494 LTO winners: 12.1%

The read

The record is strongest at Perth (10.5%, n=57), clear of the rider's 5.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.1% (n=33, Fair A/E 0.83). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.69 and −76.00 to a £1 stake over 120 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Susan Corbett supplied 94% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.7%, A/E 0.92). The rider also read well on Heavy going (8.6%, n=58). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2% over 49 rides, 3.4pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.4% 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.
