What is Robbie McNamara's strike rate?

Robbie McNamara has won 114 of 684 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 16.7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Robbie McNamara do best at?

Galway by strike rate: 18 wins from 55 rides (32.7%) 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 Robbie McNamara ride most for?

D K Weld, with 172 rides since 2008 — 25% of the total. That pairing has won 62 (36%).

What is Robbie McNamara's Fair A/E?

1.20, from 684 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 Galway (32.7%, n=55) and Leopardstown (25.9%, n=58) — all clear of the rider's 16.7% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 35.3% (n=68, Fair A/E 1.63), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 13.4% (n=382, Fair A/E 1.19). D K Weld supplied 25% of the rides and beats the rider's average (36% vs 16.7%, A/E 1.54) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 10.6% over 217 rides, 6.1pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown (Dec 2010, £106,800). The standout partner of the record was Universal Truth (IRE) — 5 wins from 10 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 16.7% 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.
