James Rogers
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%".
Rode around 50 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02).
Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.7% (n=60, Fair A/E 0.29). William Muir supplied 16% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.3%, A/E 0.88). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (15.9%, n=44) and over 1m2f – 1m4f (13%, n=92). The record read poorly off a 31-60-day break — 2.9% over 35 rides, 5.9pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 6f – 7f: Fair A/E 0.63 across 114 rides (5.3% strike, −66.75 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.8% 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.

Quick answers
- What is James Rogers's strike rate?
- James Rogers has won 32 of 365 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.8% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does James Rogers do best at?
- Kempton (AW) by strike rate: 5 wins from 38 rides (13.2%) 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 Rogers ride most for?
- William Muir, with 60 rides since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (8.3%).
- What is James Rogers's Fair A/E?
- 1.02, from 361 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.
