Which course does Sean Bird do best at?

Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 0 wins from 37 rides (0%) 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 Sean Bird ride most for?

Michael Mulvany, with 59 rides since 2022 — 34% of the total. That pairing has won 1 (1.7%).

What is Sean Bird's Fair A/E?

0.79, from 172 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

The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 2.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −71.00 to a £1 stake over 170 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Michael Mulvany supplies 34% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (1.7%, A/E 0.64). The market has also underrated the rider on Good going: Fair A/E 1.36 across 51 rides (3.9% strike, +4.00 to a £1 stake).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 2.3% 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.
