What is Sean Davis's strike rate?

Sean Davis has won 12 of 255 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 4.7% (as at 7 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Sean Davis do best at?

Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 4 wins from 90 rides (4.4%) 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 Davis ride most for?

Sean Davis, with 70 rides since 2022 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 2 (2.9%).

What is Sean Davis's Fair A/E?

0.78, from 254 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 rides in big fields of 14 or more: 3.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.67 and −85.50 to a £1 stake over 135 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Sean Davis supplies 27% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (2.9%, A/E 0.66). The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (16.1%, n=31). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 0% over 46 rides, 4.7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m – 1m1f: Fair A/E 0.34 across 58 rides (1.7% strike, −55.38 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.7% 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.
