What is Lewis Saunders's strike rate?

Lewis Saunders has won 30 of 199 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 15.1% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which yard does Lewis Saunders ride most for?

Olly Murphy, with 125 rides since 2022 — 63% of the total. That pairing has won 27 (21.6%).

Is Lewis Saunders 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 Lewis Saunders's Fair A/E?

1.16, from 199 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.

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 11.4% (n=44, Fair A/E 1.15). Olly Murphy supplies 63% of the rides and beats the rider's average (21.6% vs 15.1%, A/E 1.36) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Good to Soft going (22.6%, n=53) and in Class 5 (20.2%, n=84). The market has also underrated the rider off a 15-30-day break: Fair A/E 1.45 across 66 rides (18.2% strike, +8.45 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly over 2m5f – 3m — 8.3% over 48 rides, 6.8pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 15.1% 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.
