What is R M Burke's strike rate?

R M Burke has won 8 of 217 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 3.7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does R M Burke do best at?

Curragh by strike rate: 1 wins from 33 rides (3%) 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 R M Burke ride most for?

David P Myerscough, with 56 rides since 2008 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 2 (3.6%).

What is R M Burke's Fair A/E?

0.73, from 217 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

The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 2.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.59 and −93.50 to a £1 stake over 134 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. David P Myerscough supplied 26% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (3.6%, A/E 0.54). The rider also read well over 1m2f – 1m4f (8.9%, n=45) and off a 15-30-day break (7.4%, n=54). The record read poorly off a 8-14-day break — 0% over 41 rides, 3.7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.37 across 55 rides (1.8% strike, −46.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Mcdonogh EBF Premier Handicap at Galway (Jul 2005, £78,780).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.7% 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.
