What is Phillip Makin's strike rate?

Phillip Makin has won 726 of 5,851 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 12.4% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Phillip Makin do best at?

Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 80 wins from 405 rides (19.8%) 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 Phillip Makin ride most for?

Kevin Ryan, with 874 rides since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 125 (14.3%).

What is Phillip Makin's Fair A/E?

1.00, from 5,808 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 530 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 12% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 21% (643 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Southwell (AW) (19.8%, n=405), clear of the rider's 12.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.5% (n=643, Fair A/E 1.16), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 7.5% (n=1,053, Fair A/E 1.09). Kevin Ryan supplied 15% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (14.3%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (20.2%, n=445). 21 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the DBS Premier Yearling Stakes at York (Aug 2012, £147,737). The standout partner of the record was Tiger Reigns (GB) — 7 wins from 21 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.4% 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. 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.
