What is Richard Evans's strike rate?

Richard Evans has won 54 of 627 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.6% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Richard Evans do best at?

Bath by strike rate: 5 wins from 31 rides (16.1%) 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 Richard Evans ride most for?

David Evans, with 572 rides since 2008 — 91% of the total. That pairing has won 53 (9.3%).

What is Richard Evans's Fair A/E?

0.78, from 626 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 record is strongest at Bath (16.1%, n=31), clear of the rider's 8.6% baseline. It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (0% over 42 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15% (n=80, Fair A/E 0.87), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5% (n=40, Fair A/E 0.73). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 6.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.61 and −92.40 to a £1 stake over 184 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. David Evans supplied 91% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.3%, A/E 0.83). The record read poorly off a 31-60-day break — 0% over 42 rides, 8.6pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ripon Champion Two Yrs Old Trophy, 2010 at Ripon (Aug 2010, £17,031). Seasonally, the rider fired Apr–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.6% 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.
