What is Mr M Fahey's strike rate?

Mr M Fahey has won 33 of 556 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mr M Fahey do best at?

Fairyhouse by strike rate: 4 wins from 42 rides (9.5%) 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 Mr M Fahey ride most for?

Mrs John Harrington, with 134 rides since 2008 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (11.2%).

What is Mr M Fahey's Fair A/E?

0.91, from 556 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

Mrs John Harrington supplied 24% of the rides and beats the rider's average (11.2% vs 5.9%, A/E 1.16) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Good to Firm going (9.7%, n=62). The record read poorly on Good to Soft going — 2.3% over 44 rides, 3.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 2m1f – 2m4f: Fair A/E 0.42 across 156 rides (2.6% strike, −131.93 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.9% 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.
