What is Sean Kirrane's strike rate?

Sean Kirrane has won 177 of 1,805 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Sean Kirrane do best at?

Pontefract by strike rate: 11 wins from 64 rides (17.2%) 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 Kirrane ride most for?

Tim Easterby, with 950 rides since 2022 — 53% of the total. That pairing has won 97 (10.2%).

Is Sean Kirrane in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 10 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Sean Kirrane's Fair A/E?

1.06, from 1,798 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 360 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.06). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (163 rides). Rides mostly for Tim Easterby — 53% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Pontefract (17.2%, n=64), clear of the rider's 9.8% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.4% (n=163, Fair A/E 1.25), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.6% (n=194, Fair A/E 0.87). Tim Easterby supplies 53% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.2%, A/E 1.01) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well on Heavy going (18.2%, n=44). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Coolmore Wootton Bassett Nunthorpe Stakes at York (Aug 2023, £302,690). The standout partner of the record: Rain Cap (GB) — 5 wins from 28 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.8% 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.
