What is Mr Matthew Barber's strike rate?

Mr Matthew Barber has won 9 of 139 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mr Matthew Barber do best at?

Ffos Las by strike rate: 1 wins from 30 rides (3.3%) 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.

What is Mr Matthew Barber's Fair A/E?

0.81, from 138 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 at a glance Claiming: 6.6%

The read

It is weakest at Ffos Las (3.3% over 30 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=45, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 6.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.83 and −43.75 to a £1 stake over 136 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. The rider also read well off a 15-30-day break (14.7%, n=34) and in Class 6 (10.3%, n=39). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 33 rides, 6.5pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.5% 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.
