What is Sam Coltherd's strike rate?

Sam Coltherd has won 48 of 575 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.3% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Sam Coltherd do best at?

Sedgefield by strike rate: 8 wins from 64 rides (12.5%) since 2022. 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 Sam Coltherd ride most for?

Stuart Coltherd, with 392 rides since 2022 — 68% of the total. That pairing has won 39 (9.9%).

What is Sam Coltherd's Fair A/E?

0.87, from 575 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.3% (n=59, Fair A/E 0.98), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=56, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.40 and −88.67 to a £1 stake over 130 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Stuart Coltherd supplies 68% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.9%, A/E 0.90). The rider also reads well beyond 3m (20%, n=35) and on Heavy going (17.1%, n=70). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 54 rides, 8.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Hurdle races: Fair A/E 0.56 across 276 rides (3.6% strike, −212.70 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The standout partner of the record: Ardera Cross (IRE) — 8 wins from 36 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.3% 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.
