Paddy Hanlon
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%".
Rides around 130 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.69). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 8% (37 rides). Rides mostly for John Joseph Hanlon — 65% of rides in the window.
The record is strongest at Downpatrick (15.2%, n=46), clear of the rider's 5.3% baseline. It is weakest at Kilbeggan (0% over 37 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.8% (n=222, Fair A/E 0.42). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 4.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.67 and −197.91 to a £1 stake over 270 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. John Joseph Hanlon supplies 65% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.7%, A/E 0.73). The rider also reads well off a 61-180-day break (9.7%, n=72).
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 5.3% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.3% 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.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
Quick answers
- What is Paddy Hanlon's strike rate?
- Paddy Hanlon has won 36 of 674 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Paddy Hanlon do best at?
- Downpatrick by strike rate: 7 wins from 46 rides (15.2%) since 2022. 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 Paddy Hanlon ride most for?
- John Joseph Hanlon, with 440 rides since 2022 — 65% of the total. That pairing has won 25 (5.7%).
- Is Paddy Hanlon in form?
- Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 5 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Paddy Hanlon's Fair A/E?
- 0.69, from 674 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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.
