Samantha England
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 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.33). Rode mostly for Joanne Foster — 40% of rides in the window.
The record is strongest at Sedgefield (23.3%, n=43), clear of the rider's 10.3% baseline. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4% (n=50, Fair A/E 0.75). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 9.9% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.27 and +25.70 to a £1 stake over 293 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Joanne Foster supplied 40% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.5% vs 10.3%, A/E 1.23) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well beyond 3m (19.1%, n=47) and on Heavy going (19.4%, n=36). The market has also underrated the rider in Chase races: Fair A/E 1.58 across 135 rides (15.6% strike, +108.70 to a £1 stake).
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 10.3% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.3% 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 Samantha England's strike rate?
- Samantha England has won 31 of 301 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Samantha England do best at?
- Sedgefield by strike rate: 10 wins from 43 rides (23.3%) 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 Samantha England ride most for?
- Joanne Foster, with 120 rides since 2008 — 40% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (12.5%).
- What is Samantha England's Fair A/E?
- 1.33, from 301 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.
