Ryan Clark
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%".
Rode around 120 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (105 rides).
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.1% (n=105, Fair A/E 1.18). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 8% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.53 and +17.00 to a £1 stake over 138 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Stuart Williams supplied 10% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.8% vs 9.7%, A/E 1.13) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well over 1m5f – 2m (19.6%, n=51) and off a 0-7-day break (16.1%, n=118). The record read poorly in Class 7 — 0% over 32 rides, 9.7pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Aug.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.7% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Ryan Clark's strike rate?
- Ryan Clark has won 102 of 1,047 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.7% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Ryan Clark do best at?
- Yarmouth 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 Ryan Clark ride most for?
- Stuart Williams, with 109 rides since 2008 — 10% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (13.8%).
- What is Ryan Clark's Fair A/E?
- 1.08, from 1,039 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.
