What is Sean Flanagan's strike rate?

Sean Flanagan has won 165 of 1,878 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.8% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Sean Flanagan do best at?

Galway by strike rate: 11 wins from 82 rides (13.4%) 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 Flanagan ride most for?

Gavin Cromwell, with 263 rides since 2022 — 14% of the total. That pairing has won 32 (12.2%).

Is Sean Flanagan in form?

In the last 14 days: 22 rides, 2 winners, a strike rate of 9.1%. That is in line with the baseline of 8.8% since 2022.

What is Sean Flanagan's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 1,878 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

Rides around 380 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (174 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Sligo (19.4%, n=31), clear of the rider's 8.8% baseline. It is weakest at Leopardstown (2.1% over 47 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17.8% (n=174, Fair A/E 1.25). Gavin Cromwell supplies 14% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.2% vs 8.8%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 67 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2025, £226,944). The standout partner of the record: Snow Falcon (IRE) — 6 wins from 30 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.8% 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 6 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 8 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 4 runs (won 1, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 5 runs (won 1, 1 did not run) · to 9 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart.
