Mr D Murphy
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%".
Rode around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 4% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.63).
The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 4.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −73.25 to a £1 stake over 136 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. The rider also read well over 2m5f – 3m (8.3%, n=36). The market has consistently overbet the rider in NH Flat races: Fair A/E 0.28 across 62 rides (1.6% strike, −53.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. The standout partner of the record was Whyso Mayo (IRE) — 6 wins from 15 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 4.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.1% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Mr D Murphy's strike rate?
- Mr D Murphy has won 6 of 145 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 4.1% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Mr D Murphy do best at?
- Cork by strike rate: 1 wins from 31 rides (3.2%) 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.
- What is Mr D Murphy's Fair A/E?
- 0.63, from 144 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.
