Sam Feilden
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%".
Rides around 20 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.74).
The record is strongest at Wolverhampton (AW) (10%, n=30), clear of the rider's 7% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=37, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 6.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.69 and −147.05 to a £1 stake over 329 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. K R Burke supplies 35% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.1%, A/E 0.65). The rider also reads well in Class 4 (10.3%, n=58). The record reads poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 3.1% over 65 rides, 3.9pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good to Firm going: Fair A/E 0.46 across 67 rides (4.5% strike, −56.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. Seasonally, the rider fires Jul–Sep.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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 Sam Feilden's strike rate?
- Sam Feilden has won 25 of 359 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Sam Feilden do best at?
- Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 3 wins from 30 rides (10%) 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 Sam Feilden ride most for?
- K R Burke, with 126 rides since 2008 — 35% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (7.1%).
- What is Sam Feilden's Fair A/E?
- 0.74, from 359 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.
