What is Paul Hanagan's strike rate?

Paul Hanagan has won 47 of 429 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 11% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Paul Hanagan do best at?

Beverley by strike rate: 6 wins from 38 rides (15.8%) 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 Paul Hanagan ride most for?

Richard Fahey, with 85 rides since 2022 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (15.3%).

What is Paul Hanagan's Fair A/E?

1.18, from 426 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.

The read

It is weakest at Pontefract (3.1% over 32 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.3% (n=69, Fair A/E 0.73). Richard Fahey supplies 20% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.3% vs 11%, A/E 1.43) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a break of 180+ days (15.9%, n=44). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 5.4% over 37 rides, 5.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m – 1m1f: Fair A/E 0.67 across 72 rides (5.6% strike, −32.67 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 98 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot (Jul 2014, £603,962). The standout partner of the record: Anna Pavlova (GB) — 8 wins from 16 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11% 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.
