What is Martin Ferris's strike rate?

Martin Ferris has won 57 of 1,759 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 3.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Martin Ferris do best at?

Tramore by strike rate: 7 wins from 133 rides (5.3%) 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 Martin Ferris ride most for?

M F Morris, with 120 rides since 2008 — 7% of the total. That pairing has won 11 (9.2%).

What is Martin Ferris's Fair A/E?

0.74, from 1,759 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 200 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 3% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.74). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (50 rides).

KTB at a glance Fired Nov–Dec M F Morris: 9.2% from 120 LTO winners: 14% Claiming: 4.3%

The read

It is weakest at Kilbeggan (0% over 58 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14% (n=50, Fair A/E 1.20). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 2.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.57 and −888.72 to a £1 stake over 1,229 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. M F Morris supplied 7% of the rides and beats the rider's average (9.2% vs 3.2%, A/E 1.71) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Tim Duggan Memorial Handicap Chase at Limerick (Dec 2006, £29,295). Seasonally, the rider fired Nov–Dec.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.2% 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.

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.
