What is Simon Torrens's strike rate?

Simon Torrens has won 162 of 2,667 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.1% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Simon Torrens do best at?

Ballinrobe by strike rate: 12 wins from 111 rides (10.8%) 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 Torrens ride most for?

P J Rothwell, with 399 rides since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 20 (5%).

Is Simon Torrens in form?

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

What is Simon Torrens's Fair A/E?

0.91, from 2,667 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 Ballinrobe (10.8%, n=111) and Down Royal (10.6%, n=113) — all clear of the rider's 6.1% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.3% (n=179, Fair A/E 0.94). The market has consistently overbet in Group and Graded company the record: 5.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.77 and −141.00 to a £1 stake over 261 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. P J Rothwell supplies 15% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5%, A/E 0.88). The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (13%, n=77). 14 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ladbrokes Hurdle at Leopardstown (Feb 2021, £73,750). Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.1% 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.
