What is Shane Gorey's strike rate?

Shane Gorey has won 23 of 713 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 3.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Shane Gorey do best at?

Gowran Park by strike rate: 3 wins from 46 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 Gorey ride most for?

D K Weld, with 176 rides since 2008 — 25% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (2.8%).

What is Shane Gorey's Fair A/E?

0.64, from 713 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Gowran Park (6.5%, n=46), clear of the rider's 3.2% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a poor signal at 0% (n=37, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 1.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.27 and −132.00 to a £1 stake over 159 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. D K Weld supplied 25% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (2.8%, A/E 0.46). The rider also read well over 1m5f – 2m (8.5%, n=59) and off a 0-7-day break (6.7%, n=60).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.2% 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.
