The read

The record is strongest at Downpatrick (29.4%, n=34), Limerick (22.4%, n=58) and Thurles (23.7%, n=38) — all clear of the rider's 11.1% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.1% (n=134, Fair A/E 1.39), but claiming rides have been a poor signal at 6.3% (n=32, Fair A/E 1.06). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 10.1% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.49 and +45.50 to a £1 stake over 148 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. T M Walsh supplied 16% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (12.3%, A/E 1.17) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 15 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Boylesports Irish Grand National Chase at Fairyhouse (Apr 2015, £154,750).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.1% 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.

Quick answers

What is Ms K Walsh's strike rate?
Ms K Walsh has won 136 of 1,230 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11.1% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ms K Walsh do best at?
Downpatrick by strike rate: 10 wins from 34 rides (29.4%) 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 Ms K Walsh ride most for?
T M Walsh, with 195 rides since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 24 (12.3%).
What is Ms K Walsh's Fair A/E?
1.05, from 1,230 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.
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%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown.
