The read

The record is strongest at Ripon (10%, n=40) and Southwell (AW) (10%, n=30) — all clear of the rider's 5.6% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 9.6% (n=52, Fair A/E 0.66). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 4.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.68 and −186.92 to a £1 stake over 329 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Brian Ellison supplies 15% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.4%, A/E 0.93). The rider also reads well on Good to Soft going (10.5%, n=76). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 0% over 31 rides, 5.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m2f – 1m4f: Fair A/E 0.37 across 89 rides (2.2% strike, −30.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.6% 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 Kieran Schofield's strike rate?
Kieran Schofield has won 36 of 640 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.6% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Kieran Schofield do best at?
Ripon by strike rate: 4 wins from 40 rides (10%) 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 Schofield ride most for?
Brian Ellison, with 95 rides since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (7.4%).
What is Kieran Schofield's Fair A/E?
0.75, from 635 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.
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%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 15 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
