What is Stan Sheppard's strike rate?

Stan Sheppard has won 165 of 1,051 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 15.7% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Stan Sheppard do best at?

Kempton by strike rate: 9 wins from 30 rides (30%) 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 Stan Sheppard ride most for?

Tom Lacey, with 646 rides since 2022 — 61% of the total. That pairing has won 116 (18%).

Is Stan Sheppard in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 9 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Stan Sheppard's Fair A/E?

1.08, from 1,050 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 210 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 16% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.08). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 21% (169 rides). Rides mostly for Tom Lacey — 61% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Kempton (30%, n=30) and Huntingdon (28.2%, n=39) — all clear of the rider's 15.7% baseline. It is weakest at Worcester (8.3% over 60 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.7% (n=169, Fair A/E 0.98), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.8% (n=138, Fair A/E 0.77). Tom Lacey supplies 61% of the rides and edges the rider's average (18% vs 15.7%, A/E 1.09) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 8-14-day break (22.9%, n=70). 8 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury (Feb 2022, £87,219). The standout partner of the record: Modeligo (IRE) — 8 wins from 39 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 15.7% 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.
