Lizzie Kelly
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%".
Rode around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (77 rides). Rode mostly for Nick Williams — 69% of rides in the window.
The record is strongest at Exeter (27%, n=37), clear of the rider's 13.3% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.5% (n=77, Fair A/E 1.07), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 8.9% (n=124, Fair A/E 0.73). Nick Williams supplied 69% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.8% vs 13.3%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well in Class 4 (19.4%, n=180). The record read poorly beyond 3m — 5.1% over 39 rides, 8.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a break of 180+ days: Fair A/E 0.67 across 61 rides (8.2% strike, −36.97 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 11 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury (Feb 2016, £88,273). The standout partner of the record was Tea For Two (GB) — 9 wins from 35 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Jan.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 13.3% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.3% 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 Lizzie Kelly's strike rate?
- Lizzie Kelly has won 73 of 549 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 13.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Lizzie Kelly do best at?
- Exeter by strike rate: 10 wins from 37 rides (27%) 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 Lizzie Kelly ride most for?
- Nick Williams, with 380 rides since 2008 — 69% of the total. That pairing has won 60 (15.8%).
- What is Lizzie Kelly's Fair A/E?
- 1.03, from 549 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.
