What is L McNiff's strike rate?

L McNiff has won 54 of 759 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.1% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does L McNiff do best at?

Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 5 wins from 39 rides (12.8%) 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 L McNiff ride most for?

David Barron, with 130 rides since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 20 (15.4%).

What is L McNiff's Fair A/E?

0.91, from 756 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 Rider Profile

Rode around 130 times a season, across both codes, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.91). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 10% (59 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Punchestown (0% over 33 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 10.2% (n=59, Fair A/E 0.76). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 4.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −224.20 to a £1 stake over 399 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. David Barron supplied 17% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.4% vs 7.1%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Standard (AW) going (15.6%, n=64) and off a 0-7-day break (13.5%, n=74). Seasonally, the rider fired May–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.1% 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.
