What is Robert Jones's strike rate?

Robert Jones has won 58 of 964 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Robert Jones do best at?

Clonmel by strike rate: 10 wins from 63 rides (15.9%) 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 Robert Jones ride most for?

E McNamara, with 261 rides since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 14 (5.4%).

What is Robert Jones's Fair A/E?

0.96, from 964 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 160 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.96). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 17% (54 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Clonmel (15.9%, n=63) and Wexford (12.8%, n=39) — all clear of the rider's 6% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.7% (n=54, Fair A/E 1.31), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.4% (n=212, Fair A/E 0.48). E McNamara supplied 27% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.4%, A/E 0.87). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (15.3%, n=59). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 0.9% over 113 rides, 5.1pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Tim Duggan Memorial Handicap Chase at Limerick (Dec 2009, £20,507). Seasonally, the rider fired Nov–Dec.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 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.
