What is Sean Bowen's strike rate?

Sean Bowen has won 833 of 3,905 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 21.3% (as at 7 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Sean Bowen do best at?

Perth by strike rate: 93 wins from 293 rides (31.7%) 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 Bowen ride most for?

Olly Murphy, with 1,422 rides since 2022 — 36% of the total. That pairing has won 355 (25%).

Is Sean Bowen in form?

In the last 14 days: 50 rides, 13 winners, a strike rate of 26%. That is above the baseline of 21.3% since 2022.

What is Sean Bowen's Fair A/E?

1.08, from 3,897 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 29% (770 rides). The rider is in form now — 13 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Perth (31.7%, n=293), clear of the rider's 21.3% baseline. It is weakest at Newbury (9.2% over 87 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 28.7% (n=770, Fair A/E 1.05), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 10.7% (n=373, Fair A/E 1.23). Right now the rider is firing: 13 winners from 50 rides in the last 14 days (26%, 4.7pts above the 21.3% baseline). Olly Murphy supplies 36% of the rides and edges the rider's average (25% vs 21.3%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (35.1%, n=57). 53 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the BoyleSports Irish Grand National Chase at Fairyhouse (Apr 2025, £270,000). The standout partner of the record: Sir Tivo (FR) — 10 wins from 20 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 21.3% 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.
