What is Mark Grant's strike rate?

Mark Grant has won 91 of 1,461 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.2% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mark Grant do best at?

Ludlow by strike rate: 5 wins from 51 rides (9.8%) 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 Grant ride most for?

Jo Hughes, with 152 rides since 2008 — 10% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (10.5%).

What is Mark Grant's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 1,460 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

Rode around 100 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (107 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.9% (n=107, Fair A/E 1.05), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 2.4% (n=415, Fair A/E 0.57). Jo Hughes supplied 10% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.5% vs 6.2%, A/E 1.27) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well in Chase races (11%, n=491). The record read poorly in NH Flat races — 1.2% over 161 rides, 5pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record was Emerald Rose (GB) — 5 wins from 27 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.2% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
