What is Mr Michael Legg's strike rate?

Mr Michael Legg has won 39 of 328 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11.9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mr Michael Legg do best at?

Wincanton by strike rate: 8 wins from 45 rides (17.8%) 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 Mr Michael Legg ride most for?

Colin Tizzard, with 79 rides since 2008 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 11 (13.9%).

What is Mr Michael Legg's Fair A/E?

1.13, from 327 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

Rode around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.13). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 23% (35 rides).

KTB at a glance Fired Nov–Jan Fresh horses: 13.1% 41.2% when favourite Colin Tizzard: 13.9% from 79 First rides: 13.4% LTO winners: 22.9% Claiming: 12.7%

The read

The record is strongest at Wincanton (17.8%, n=45), clear of the rider's 11.9% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 22.9% (n=35, Fair A/E 0.99). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 12.7% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.24 and +6.86 to a £1 stake over 283 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Colin Tizzard supplied 24% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.9% vs 11.9%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well in NH Flat races (20%, n=55) and on Heavy going (19%, n=42). The market has also underrated the rider over 1m5f – 2m: Fair A/E 1.64 across 83 rides (16.9% strike, +11.37 to a £1 stake). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Teenage Cancer Trust Silver Trophy Chase at Cheltenham (Apr 2016, £28,475). Seasonally, the rider fired Nov–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.9% 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.
