John Fahy
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 90 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.09). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 24% (33 rides). Rides mostly for Clive Cox — 77% of rides in the window.
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 24.2% (n=33, Fair A/E 1.22), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.6% (n=38, Fair A/E 0.51). Clive Cox supplies 77% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (13.9%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (16.9%, n=160). The record reads poorly in Class 6 — 3.3% over 60 rides, 9.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 0.70 across 97 rides (8.2% strike, −31.50 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 Betfred Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (Sep 2011, £99,600). The standout partner of the record: New Rich (GB) — 5 wins from 38 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 12.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.4% 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 John Fahy's strike rate?
- John Fahy has won 57 of 458 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 12.4% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does John Fahy do best at?
- Bath by strike rate: 5 wins from 30 rides (16.7%) 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 John Fahy ride most for?
- Clive Cox, with 352 rides since 2022 — 77% of the total. That pairing has won 49 (13.9%).
- What is John Fahy's Fair A/E?
- 1.09, from 456 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.
