What is Max Kendrick's strike rate?

Max Kendrick has won 85 of 970 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.8% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Max Kendrick do best at?

Hereford by strike rate: 6 wins from 38 rides (15.8%) 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 Max Kendrick ride most for?

Ben Case, with 238 rides since 2008 — 25% of the total. That pairing has won 26 (10.9%).

What is Max Kendrick's Fair A/E?

0.91, from 967 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 over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.91). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (90 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Hereford (15.8%, n=38), clear of the rider's 8.8% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17.8% (n=90, Fair A/E 0.92), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.8% (n=137, Fair A/E 1.24). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 6.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.76 and −108.91 to a £1 stake over 228 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Ben Case supplies 25% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.9% vs 8.8%, A/E 1.16) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The standout partner of the record: Ratfacemcdougall (IRE) — 7 wins from 33 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.8% 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.
