What is Ryan Day's strike rate?

Ryan Day has won 101 of 957 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.6% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ryan Day do best at?

Uttoxeter by strike rate: 6 wins from 36 rides (16.7%) 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 Ryan Day ride most for?

Nicky Richards, with 396 rides since 2008 — 41% of the total. That pairing has won 55 (13.9%).

What is Ryan Day's Fair A/E?

1.02, from 957 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 120 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (97 rides). Rode mostly for Nicky Richards — 41% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Market Rasen (0% over 40 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.4% (n=97, Fair A/E 0.80), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.7% (n=104, Fair A/E 1.19). Nicky Richards supplied 41% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.9% vs 10.6%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also read well on Heavy going (19.7%, n=117) and in NH Flat races (17.9%, n=78). 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Dec 2017, £68,340). The standout partner of the record was Chapel Stile (IRE) — 5 wins from 12 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.6% 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.
