What is Mark Gallagher's strike rate?

Mark Gallagher has won 28 of 948 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 3% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mark Gallagher do best at?

Navan by strike rate: 2 wins from 60 rides (3.3%) 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 Mark Gallagher ride most for?

Edward P Harty, with 146 rides since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (6.8%).

What is Mark Gallagher's Fair A/E?

0.72, from 947 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

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 3% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.72).

KTB at a glance Fires Mar–May Edward P Harty: 6.8% from 146

The read

It is weakest at Naas (0% over 64 rides) — the widest gap in the record. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 1.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.56 and −137.00 to a £1 stake over 171 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Edward P Harty supplies 15% of the rides and edges the rider's average (6.8% vs 3%, A/E 1.57) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (6.7%, n=45). The record reads poorly on Good to Firm going — 0% over 64 rides, 3pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 12 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.
