Ryan Mahon
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 90 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 17% (101 rides).
The record is strongest at Plumpton (22.6%, n=31), clear of the rider's 11.8% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.8% (n=101, Fair A/E 0.94), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 0% (n=48, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 5.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.64 and −123.77 to a £1 stake over 188 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Paul Nicholls supplied 30% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.5% vs 11.8%, A/E 0.94). The rider also read well on Good to Firm going (20.2%, n=84). The record read poorly in Class 1 — 1.4% over 70 rides, 10.4pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fired Feb–May.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 11.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.8% 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 Mahon's strike rate?
- Ryan Mahon has won 95 of 804 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11.8% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Ryan Mahon do best at?
- Plumpton by strike rate: 7 wins from 31 rides (22.6%) 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 Mahon ride most for?
- Paul Nicholls, with 239 rides since 2008 — 30% of the total. That pairing has won 37 (15.5%).
- What is Ryan Mahon's Fair A/E?
- 0.94, from 799 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.
