What is Martin Lane's strike rate?

Martin Lane has won 436 of 4,592 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Martin Lane do best at?

Chelmsford (AW) by strike rate: 32 wins from 189 rides (16.9%) 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 Lane ride most for?

David Simcock, with 622 rides since 2008 — 14% of the total. That pairing has won 78 (12.5%).

What is Martin Lane's Fair A/E?

0.97, from 4,569 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Chelmsford (AW) (16.9%, n=189), clear of the rider's 9.5% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14% (n=421, Fair A/E 0.94), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 3.3% (n=122, Fair A/E 0.43). David Simcock supplied 14% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.5% vs 9.5%, A/E 0.93). The record read poorly in Class 1 — 3.3% over 122 rides, 6.2pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the 300,000 Tattersalls Millions 2YO Fillies' Trophy at Newmarket (Oct 2013, £162,330). The standout partner of the record was Sheikhzayedroad (GB) — 5 wins from 18 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.5% 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.
