What is Simon Pearce's strike rate?

Simon Pearce has won 87 of 1,407 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.2% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Simon Pearce do best at?

Newmarket by strike rate: 5 wins from 47 rides (10.6%) 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 Simon Pearce ride most for?

Lydia Pearce, with 475 rides since 2008 — 34% of the total. That pairing has won 28 (5.9%).

What is Simon Pearce's Fair A/E?

0.86, from 1,403 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 130 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.86). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 9% (100 rides).

The read

The market has consistently overbet rides on last-time-out winners: 9% strike, Fair A/E 0.66 and −58.09 to a £1 stake over 100 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Lydia Pearce supplied 34% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.9%, A/E 0.81). The rider also read well on Good to Soft going (10%, n=90). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2.3% over 88 rides, 3.9pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.2% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.
