Luke McAteer
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 350 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (114 rides).
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.2% (n=114, Fair A/E 1.09), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 2.9% (n=68, Fair A/E 0.44). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 4.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.68 and −205.42 to a £1 stake over 293 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. David Marnane supplies 26% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.2% vs 7.4%, A/E 1.19) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly on Good to Firm going — 1.7% over 58 rides, 5.7pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Petingo Handicap at Leopardstown (IRE) (Sep 2026, £90,000). The standout partner of the record: Amemri (GB) — 8 wins from 31 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.4% 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.

KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 9 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 0) · to 29 Oct 2026.
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 Luke McAteer's strike rate?
- Luke McAteer has won 130 of 1,758 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.4% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Luke McAteer do best at?
- Tipperary by strike rate: 5 wins from 38 rides (13.2%) since 2022. 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 Luke McAteer ride most for?
- David Marnane, with 452 rides since 2022 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 55 (12.2%).
- Is Luke McAteer in form?
- Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 13 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Luke McAteer's Fair A/E?
- 0.99, from 1,757 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.
