What is Seamus Durack's strike rate?

Seamus Durack has won 76 of 845 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Seamus Durack do best at?

Newton Abbot by strike rate: 7 wins from 40 rides (17.5%) 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 Seamus Durack ride most for?

Peter Bowen, with 194 rides since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 21 (10.8%).

What is Seamus Durack's Fair A/E?

1.05, from 845 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 210 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.05). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (70 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Newton Abbot (17.5%, n=40) and Stratford (15.8%, n=38) — all clear of the rider's 9% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (0% over 38 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.3% (n=70, Fair A/E 0.97), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.3% (n=188, Fair A/E 0.57). Peter Bowen supplied 23% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.8%, A/E 1.14) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 3.6% over 111 rides, 5.4pts below the baseline. 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfair Chase at Haydock (Nov 2008, £127,341). The standout partner of the record was Snoopy Loopy (IRE) — 5 wins from 18 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
