What is Mark Walsh's strike rate?

Mark Walsh has won 231 of 1,264 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 18.3% (as at 31 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mark Walsh do best at?

Limerick by strike rate: 10 wins from 31 rides (32.3%) 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 Mark Walsh ride most for?

W P Mullins, with 262 rides since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 76 (29%).

Is Mark Walsh in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 5 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Mark Walsh's Fair A/E?

1.06, from 1,264 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 250 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 18% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.06). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 28% (263 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Limerick (32.3%, n=31), clear of the rider's 18.3% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 27.8% (n=263, Fair A/E 1.23), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 12.3% (n=553, Fair A/E 1.00). W P Mullins supplies 21% of the rides and beats the rider's average (29% vs 18.3%, A/E 1.13) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 181 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2025, £364,314). The standout partner of the record: Dinoblue (FR) — 12 wins from 22 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 18.3% 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 6 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 5 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 5 runs (won 1, 1 did not run) · to 30 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.
