What is Nora Looby's strike rate?

Nora Looby has won 13 of 250 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.2% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Nora Looby do best at?

Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 3 wins from 59 rides (5.1%) 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 Nora Looby ride most for?

Alan McCabe, with 126 rides since 2008 — 50% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (5.6%).

What is Nora Looby's Fair A/E?

0.82, from 250 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

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=38, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 4.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.81 and −13.50 to a £1 stake over 224 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Alan McCabe supplied 50% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.6%, A/E 0.77). The rider also read well off a 8-14-day break (10.8%, n=65) and on Good to Firm going (8.7%, n=46). The market has also underrated the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 1.20 across 89 rides (7.9% strike, +64.38 to a £1 stake). The record read poorly in Class 4 — 0% over 33 rides, 5.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 0-7-day break: Fair A/E 0.40 across 55 rides (3.6% strike, −42.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.2% 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.
