Shane Crimin
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%".
Rode around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.93).
Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 1.2% (n=83, Fair A/E 0.29). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 2.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −180.00 to a £1 stake over 264 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Oliver McKiernan supplied 30% of the rides and edges the rider's average (7.6% vs 4.8%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (15.4%, n=39). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 0% over 42 rides, 4.8pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m5f – 2m: Fair A/E 0.20 across 113 rides (0.9% strike, −87.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 4.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.8% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Shane Crimin's strike rate?
- Shane Crimin has won 21 of 438 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 4.8% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Shane Crimin do best at?
- Fairyhouse by strike rate: 2 wins from 31 rides (6.5%) since 2008. 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 Shane Crimin ride most for?
- Oliver McKiernan, with 132 rides since 2008 — 30% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (7.6%).
- What is Shane Crimin's Fair A/E?
- 0.93, from 438 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. 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.
