Laura Pearson
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 70 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 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 21% (155 rides).
The record is strongest at Windsor (19.4%, n=36), clear of the rider's 9.1% baseline. It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (2.9% over 105 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21.3% (n=155, Fair A/E 1.19), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=200, Fair A/E 0.65). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 10.5% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.83 and +2.80 to a £1 stake over 124 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. David Loughnane supplies 28% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.4%, A/E 1.14) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Heavy going (19.4%, n=31) and in Class 1 (18.2%, n=33). 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom Downs (Jun 2026, £70,888). The standout partner of the record: Sparks Fly (GB) — 11 wins from 22 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jul.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.1% 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.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
Quick answers
- What is Laura Pearson's strike rate?
- Laura Pearson has won 129 of 1,419 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.1% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Laura Pearson do best at?
- Windsor by strike rate: 7 wins from 36 rides (19.4%) 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 Laura Pearson ride most for?
- David Loughnane, with 402 rides since 2008 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 42 (10.4%).
- Is Laura Pearson in form?
- Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Laura Pearson's Fair A/E?
- 0.99, from 1,415 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.
