What is Kieran Callaghan's strike rate?

Kieran Callaghan has won 37 of 411 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Kieran Callaghan do best at?

Wexford by strike rate: 5 wins from 30 rides (16.7%) 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 Kieran Callaghan ride most for?

James M Barcoe, with 109 rides since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (6.4%).

What is Kieran Callaghan's Fair A/E?

0.98, from 411 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Wexford (16.7%, n=30), clear of the rider's 9% baseline. It is weakest at Punchestown (3% over 33 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.7% (n=88, Fair A/E 0.85). James M Barcoe supplies 27% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (6.4% vs 9%, A/E 0.97) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 1.8% over 55 rides, 7.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good to Soft going: Fair A/E 0.34 across 70 rides (2.9% strike, −63.80 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 McHale Mayo National Handicap Chase at Ballinrobe (May 2022, £35,400).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9% 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.
